This reverts commit 4e0f85432a as the
ramdisk code is useful for the bring-up of the aarch64 port. Once the
kernel supports better ram-based filesystems, this code will be removed
again.
Nobody uses this because the x86 prekernel environment is corrupting the
ramdisk image prior to running the actual kernel. In the future we can
ensure that the prekernel doesn't corrupt the ramdisk if we want to
bring support back. In addition to that, we could just use a RAM based
filesystem to load whatever is needed like in Linux, without the need of
additional filesystem driver.
For the mentioned corruption problem, look at issue #9893.
Until now, our kernel has reimplemented a number of AK classes to
provide automatic internal locking:
- RefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr
- WeakPtr
- Weakable
This patch renames the Kernel classes so that they can coexist with
the original AK classes:
- RefPtr => LockRefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr => NonnullLockRefPtr
- WeakPtr => LockWeakPtr
- Weakable => LockWeakable
The goal here is to eventually get rid of the Lock* classes in favor of
using external locking.
