[PATCH] BLK_DEV_INITRD: do not require BLK_DEV_RAM=y
Initramfs initrd images do not need a ramdisk device, so remove this
restriction in Kconfig. BLK_DEV_RAM=n saves about 13k on i386. Also
without ramdisk device there's no need for "dry run", so initramfs unpacks
much faster.
People using cramfs, squashfs, or gzipped ext2/minix initrd images are
probably smart enough not to turn off ramdisk support by accident.
