Sorry, that was too fast. It actually should work. On second thought,
it doesn't matter if there's systemd in the initrd or not; if it gets
stopped before pivoting root, and a new one gets started in the new
root, that's exactly the same behavior as having no systemd in the
initrd.

Right, and I even wrote that here.. :-)

So, this patch ought to work. Confirmation appreciated!
