[PATCH] ramdisk driver: make rd_size non-static

From: Byron Bradley
Date: Thu Jan 17 2008 - 21:02:39 EST


In arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:setup_ramdisk(), rd_size is set from the
boot tags. The replacement ramdisk driver has rd_size as static
which causes linking to fail when ramdisk is built-in.

This patch applies against 2.6.24-rc8-mm1 and has not been tested,
it is only know to compile. I'm not sure if there is a better way
to set rd_size or if this is OK.
