The current plan is to have a separate MFS_ROOT conditional sysinit
that runs just before the root-mount sysinit. If this one finds an
MFS, it'll take over the first spot in the "compatibility" roots list.
This isn't quite as nice as I'd have liked, but I can't (yet) write to
the kernel environment, so that's about the best I can do.
