If so: the linux kernel source browser is nice starting point. http://lxr.linux.no I put ram disk in the search box and one of the first results was the internal kernel doc file for the ram disk: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.37/Documentation/blockdev/ramdisk.txt That file is a little out of date because it talks about rdev, which was deleted from util-linux last summer I think. I don't know what tool / process takes it's place. If you figure it out, write a patch to the doc file and get your name memorialized in the kernel git log! A little more poking around at lxr.linux.no gets you to http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.37/drivers/block/brd.c Which I think is the source code your looking for.
