2/4: support identifying root by tag name. There's a bit of a conflict here, though. The kernel will support mounting root when provided as PARTUUID=, but util-linux's blkid won't support this. We can, however, support LABEL= and UUID= syntax by resolving via blkid, and trimming the 'PART' from PARTUUID is trivial.
This is great! I wonder, is it possible to tell the kernel to try mounting the rootfs directly, and only if it cannot be found, start the initramfs?
3/4: just a shortcut when we need to create the root device in the non-udev use case when its specified as something like /dev/sdxy.
4/4: cleanse the environment before leaving early userspace. self explanatory.
You push patches faster than I can ack them ;-) Ack to everything (minus the one you withdrew). Cheers, Tom
