Mmm...MEM_MAJOR and RAMDISK_MAJOR have the same value and pramfs works
in memory. We could simply use /dev/null (there was an error in the
submitted kconfig description, my intention was to use /dev/mem). In
that case I can use UNNAMED_MAJOR. PRAMFS root option is not enabled if
it's already enabled the NFS one. What do you think?
