What do you think of adding a MODULE_ALIAS("ext4dev"); to this change?

Poor Fedora users trying to boot a kernel with this rename and ext4(dev)
on root are failing to mount root at boot time.

mkinitrd looks at the existing fstab, sees that the rootfs is "ext4dev"
and tries to mount root as ext4dev.... this fails.
