…ine parameters ...which do nothing. They were deprecated (in documentation) in 6b99e6e ("Documentation/admin-guide: blockdev/ramdisk: remove use of "rdev"") in 2020 and in kernel messages in c837699 ("initrd: remove support for multiple floppies") in 2020.

Remove linuxrc initrd code path, which was deprecated in 2020. Initramfs and (non-initial) RAM disks (i. e. brd) still work. Both built-in and bootloader-supplied initramfs still work. Non-linuxrc initrd code path (i. e. using /dev/ram as final root filesystem) still works, but I put deprecation message into it. Also I deprecate command line parameters "noinitrd" and "ramdisk_start=". Signed-off-by: Askar Safin <[email protected]>
It is not used anymore. Signed-off-by: Askar Safin <[email protected]>
