Hi Nicolas,

Just pushed v3 as b1ec85533a63c10616d9260f90411ca6f362de00!

I did tweak the commit messages but that’s because I’m too picky :-) and
the changes were minor.

Yes, definitely!

There could also be a section in the manual with a complete OS
definition, to show how one can set up a volatile image.

Last, I realize there’s no system tests.  I’m not sure how to do that
(because system tests already run on a tmpfs overlay) but it’d be nice
to make sure “root=none” handling keeps working.

Thoughts?

Thanks for all the work!

Ludo’.
