Are you trying to say that this tiny initial root filesystem is then used as a mounting point for the real on-disk root filesystem? So if you construct an in-kernel root i-node you then use this as the root node to attach the real filesystem onto? I've not had time to check the source (and it may well be beyond my level of understanding). This is all very interesting.
