could you clarify what you mean by "migrating partition code out of the

Why? You can parse partition table in userspace (initramfs) and use
BLKPG_ADD_PARTITION ioctl to inform kernel about the disk layout or
you can use device-mapper to create new devices.
Do your really want to make initramfs mandatory for everyone? Or how else
should the kernel recognize the root filesystem.
