When booting with root=/dev/ram0 in the kernel commandline, handle_initrd() where the deprecation message resides is never called, which is rather unfortunate (init/do_mounts_initrd.c):
Yes, this is unfortunate. I personally still think that initrd should be removed. I suggest using workaround I described in cover letter. Also, for unknown reasons I didn't get your letter in my inbox. (Not even in spam folder.) I ocasionally found it on lore.kernel.org . -- Askar Safin
