Subject[PATCH v2] init: replace sys_mount() to do_mount()
Date
sys_mount() just copies all (string) arguments from user space to kernel
and calls do_mount(). In this case we have all args in kernel already so
there is no need to call sys_mount(). One thing we should take care is
'data' have to be in a page unless it is NULL. Do it manually.

I found 3 more calls in init/do_mounts_initrd.c and merged them. Please
apply this instead.

Arnd, thanks for reviewing and the suggestion but I think that should be
in a different patch (set).
