Make any rootfs ro, but writable via overlayfs.
This is convenient, if for example using an ro-nfs-mount.
Add the parameter "rootovl" to the kernel, to activate this feature
This happens pre-pivot. Therefore the final root file system is already

underlying tmpfs.
The original root and the tmpfs will be mounted at /live/image and
/live/cow in the final rootfs.
