[systemd-devel] [RFC PATCH] Make initrd-fs.target the default target in the initrd

From: Harald Hoyer <harald at redhat.com>

First, rename root-fs.target to initrd-root-fs.target to clarify its usage.

Mount units with "x-initrd-rootfs.mount" are now ordered before
initrd-root-fs.target. As we sometimes construct /sysroot mounts in
/etc/fstab in the initrd, we want these to be mounted before the
initrd-root-fs.target is active.

initrd-fs.target can now be isolated and be the default target in the
initrd.
