Subject: [PATCH] PATCH: add support for xfs / reiserfs separate journal

 device

xfs and reiserfs (among other) supports storing journal data to a

separate device. Unfortunately, XFS requires this information to boot

properly (reiserfs can embed the information in its metadata but you

might want to override it).

Attached patch ensure host information are stored in initramfs and also

allows to give data over kernel commandline.
