Hi everybody,

Some of you might remember that there was a bug where an ext4 rootfs was
mounted twice, first as / and then as overlay.
After staring down the mount_root.c file I think I spotted the reason
for it. Sadly I was not able to reproduce the original problem so I am
looking for somebody who had this issue and would be willing to try out
a patch of mine.
Please get back at me if you can.

For any interested people I am attaching the patch to this mail (this is
not yet a patch submission, just discussion).
