/*
 * Having the wrong rootdevice listed in mtab is slightly inconvenient.
 * Try to guess what it could be...
 * In case /proc/cmdline exists, and has the format
 *	stuff root=R more stuff...
 * and we think we understand the number R, decode it as a root device.
 *
 * Another possibility:
 * Erik Andersen writes:
 *  I did a similar find_real_root_device_name() in busybox some time back.  
 *  Basically, do a stat("/", &rootstat) then walk /dev stat'ing each file
 *  and if (statbuf.st_rdev == rootstat.st_rdev) then you have a match.
 *  Works fine.
