[PATCH 4/5] x86, defconfig: Turn off CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM

From: Josh Triplett
Date: Mon Sep 03 2012 - 01:22:11 EST


The vast majority of systems either use initramfs or mount a root
filesystem directly from the kernel. Distros have defaulted to
initramfs for years. Only highly specialized systems would use an
actual filesystem-image initrd at this point, and such systems don't
rely on defconfig anyway. Drop initrd support (and specifically RAM
block device support) from the defconfigs.
