This 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. |

Note: this patch can't handle paths with spaces, and I don't know how
should that be fixed. Anything with spaces should not be even passed as
kernel parameter I guess. Anyway, the "loop" option has the same problem,
since rootsubdir does almost the same thing. |
