This patch appears not to be in 2.5.48, but applies cleanly.
This patch ensures that we report failures when unzipping ramdisks and the
like, including if we fail to write to the ramdisk.
Unfortunately, there is no way to guarantee that the gunzip function will
ever terminate (gzip itself uses a setjmp and longjmp to achieve this).
I wish that the ramdisk gunzip code would disappear for 2.6, replaced by
an initramfs solution which should be able to handle such failure cases
more cleanly.
