Subject: support booting of arbitrary non-blockdevice file systems v2
Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2021 08:26:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210621062657.3641879-1-hch@lst.de> (raw)

Hi all,

this series adds support to boot off arbitrary non-blockdevice root file
systems, based off an earlier patch from Vivek.

Chances since v1:
 - don't try to mount every registered file system if none is specified
 - fix various null pointer dereferences when certain kernel paramters are
   not set
 - general refactoring.
