Well, the interface I'm thinking of is something like
'rootdevice_add(const char *name, int priority)' or maybe 
'rootdevice_add(dev_t dev, int priority)' (which won't work for NFS, so I 
guess back to the char * version) and not having the array or linked list or 
whatever of names visible outside vfs_mount.c (or where the root mount code 
lives).
