I would strongly prefer to see "ret" declared on a separate line.  I'm 
not a fan of comma declared variables and, when one is initialized and 
the other isn't, it makes my brain play tricks on me (thinking ret is 
initialized to 0 too, which it isn't).

If you pass in 0,0 for rd_data_start, rd_data_end it will not create the 
ramdisk entry...

...and the above loop and delete will then be unnecessary.

...and you will have to pass in '1' for the create (last) parameter in 
the do_fixup_by_path_u32() calls to create them if they don't exist.

Is that better, or just a different way to do the same thing?  It seems 
more straight-forward to me.
