It does not really change anything visible for the normal distros,
besides that bootup can be made more efficient by running things in
parallel, and that there will be a working and correct /dev in the
rescue case.

Ok, how about switch_root done as the last thing in initramfs?
If there's another filesystem (besides rootfs and real /root)
mounted, what switch_root (or equivalent) should do? Or should
the initramfs script move it (as in mount --move) to /root/dev
before invoking switch_root?

Thanks!
