[33/41] Large blocksize support in ramfs

[Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>]

The simplest file system to use for large blocksize support is ramfs.

Note that ramfs does not use the lower layers (buffer I/O etc) so this
case is useful for initial testing of changes to large buffer size
support if one just wants to exercise the higher layers.

The patch adds the ability to specify a mount parameter to modify the
order for the pages that are allocated by ramfs.

Here is an example of how to mount a volume with order 10 pages:

	mount -tramfs -o10 none /media

Mounts a ramfs filesystem with 4MB sized pages. Then copy
a file onto it.

	cp linux-2.6.21-rc7.tar.gz /media

This will populate the ramfs volume. Note that we allocated 14 pages
of 4M each instead of 13508.

Get rid of the large pages again

	umount /media
