The patch titled mtd: remove pmcmsp-ramroot.c has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mtd-remove-pmcmsp-ramrootc.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: mtd: remove pmcmsp-ramroot.c From: Shane McDonald <mcdonald.shane@xxxxxxxxx> The RAMROOT function was a successful but non-portable attempt to append the root filesystem to the end of the kernel image. The preferred and portable solution is to use an initramfs instead. The only user of this function was the msp71xx configuration in the MIPS architecture; as the use of the RAMROOT has been removed from that configuration, there are no more users, so this code can be removed.
