This patch is based on Ville Herva's similar patch to block2mtd. Trying to pass a parameter through the kernel command line when built-in would crash the kernel, as phram_setup() was called so early that kmalloc() was not functional yet. This patch only saves the parameter string at the early boot stage, and parses it later when init_phram() is called. The same happens in both module and built-in cases. With this patch, I can boot with a statically-compiled phram, and mount a ext2 root fs from physical RAM, without the need for a initrd. This has been tested in built-in and module cases, with and without a parameter string.
