Public bug reported:
Attached patch allows booting from some subdirectory on root
device via "rootsubdir" command line parameter. It is very similiar
to booting from loop device, except it uses "mount -o bind".
This is useful for devices whose main OS is not Ubuntu - android
devices devices like Nexus 7. Ubuntu then does not have to
replace Android, and can be easily dual-booted.
** Affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Patch added: "rootsubdir.diff"
