[34/37] Large blocksize support in ramfs

[clameter]

The simplest file system to use for larg blocksize support is ramfs.
Add a mount parameter that specifies the page order of the pages
that ramfs should use.

Note that ramfs does not use the lower layers (buffer I/O etc) so this
case is useful for initial testing of changes to large buffer size
support if one just wants to exercise the higher layers.

If you apply this patch and then you can f.e. try this:

	mount -tramfs -o10 none /media

Mounts a ramfs filesystem with order 10 pages (4 MB)

	cp linux-2.6.21-rc7.tar.gz /media

Populate the ramfs. Note that we allocate 14 pages of 4M each
instead of 13508..

umount /media

Gets rid of the large pages again
