In https://launchpad.net/bugs/1722735 was reported that the ramdisk
problem was introduced with kernel 4.10. But to me it looks like
the kernel config option CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM is also not there in
kernel 4.9:

 linux-master ((v4.10))$ git checkout v4.9
 Previous HEAD position was c8d2bc9bc39e... Linux 4.8
 HEAD is now at 69973b830859... Linux 4.9
 linux-master ((v4.9))$ make zfcpdump_defconfig
   HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
 #
 # configuration written to .config
 #
 linux-master ((v4.9))$ grep CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RA .config
 # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM is not set

Regards
Michael
