That would be my preferred method. Merge Erics and my fixup for 2.6.24-rc.
The only open questions is, what was the reiserfs problem? Is it still

While the merge window is still open, to me the new ramdisk code seems
more like a 2.6.25-rc thing. We actually should test the behaviour in 
low memory scenarios. What do you think?
