Do we really want CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y by default? The Kconfig text for the
options says:
Most normal users won't need the RAM disk functionality, and can
thus say N here.
so I'd be inclined to say we should leave things as they are. The current
defconfig is largely driven by our testing efforts, but I've been enabling
other options that could benefit many people without hindering others (e.g.
DEVTMPFS_MOUNT).
