Title:
  [PATCH] Add support for booting from subdirectory in root

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Attached patch allows booting from some subdirectory on root
  device via "rootsubdir" command line parameter. It is very similiar
  to booting from loop device, except it uses "mount -o bind".

  This is useful for devices whose main OS is not Ubuntu - e.g. android
  devices like Nexus 7. Ubuntu then does not have to
  replace Android, and can be easily dual-booted.
