In my case i have multiple envfs images loaded with loadenv.
and i need to have passwd file from one of these image.
I have /env which is my barebox env and /user which is loaded from envfs
image. I need passwd file in /user/passwd.

In a more general case, the abilily to have passwd file from a directory
other than /env can lead, in a very simple way, to the ability to have
passwd file from a fat filesystem or an ubifs filesystem

I use #define to set this passwd file because i want to set it at
compile time and not at runtime.

If you prefer runtime configuration, i can do the patch according to
sasha suggestion.
