xfs and reiserfs (among other) supports storing journal data to a
separate device. Unfortunately, XFS requires this information to boot
properly (reiserfs can embed the information in its metadata but you
might want to override it).
Attached patch ensure host information are stored in initramfs and also
allows to give data over kernel commandline.
