As mentioned earlier, I don't think this is a particularly useful
change. Just this boot argument is not enough to boot with anyway, so
listing it doesn't really help anyone. In theory you could make some
assertion about what the "most popular" boot device and filesystem is,
but it seems unlikely to cover the majority of the cases.

I won't NAK this change myself, but I certainly won't push for it.
