root= kernel cmdline parameter

Hi all,

I'm trying to find out the best method to define the root=
parameter when booting the linux kernel from barebox.

My system boots from an sd card partitioned with a GPT.
The sd card has two independent set of partitions with
the following labels:

1)   boot_1 + rootfs_1
2)   boot_2 + rootfs_2

for redondance in case one set gets damaged while updating.

'boot_1' is formatted with ext4 and contains the kernel + dtb images
for the userland in 'rootfs_1'; and the same for 'boot_2' and 'rootfs_2'.

Currently I hardcode the 'root' parameter to '/dev/mmcblk0p3' or
'/dev/mmcblk0p4' corresponding to the kernel in 'boot_1' or
'boot_2' and it actually works but is there a better way to do
this ?

Using the global var. 'bootm.appendroot' does not work because the
userland image is not in the same partition as the kernel.
