There is one initrd use case in my mind, it can be extended to co-work with overlayfs as a kernel built-in solution for initrd(compressed fs image)+overlayfs. Currently we can use compressed fs images (squashfs or erofs) within initramfs, and kernel loop mount together with overlayfs, this works fine but extra pre-mount phase is needed. Thanks Dave
