The "root=" option is interpreted by the kernel sometimes and passed
on to userspace other times. Based on whether the "root=" boot
command line option is specified, the initramfs uses tmpfs or ramfs
as the rootfs.
This is a temporary patch that removes the "root=" test in the
decision to use tmpfs or ramfs as the rootfs. Modify userspace
applications (eg. dracut, systemd) to support "ROOT=" in addition
to "root=".
(Not to be upstreamed.)
