i do not use this parameter but people will be confused if it suddenly vanish.
IMHO it would be better to add something like
printk(KERN_ERR "'ramdisk=' will be removed with kernel 2.6.35 ....";
pleae note there is a clear kernel number what will put pressure on everyone
really to remove the parameter.
just my two cents,
