    There's a need for a separate boot target since
    persistent storage is way slower than tmpfs indeed;
    usbflash has a tendency for huge performance drops
    given simultaneous writes in addition to reads which
    are the bottleneck already.
    
    make-initrd-propagator 0.18 introduced ext4 rw slice,
    so the corresponding kernel module needs to be included
    into stage1; see also #28289.
    
    NB: not available on x86_64-efi (or hybrid GPT to be strict)
    due to fragility of the hack being made: parted(8) panics
    upon seeing that, and good ol' fdisk is unable to treat it.
    
    NB: use/live/rw use/rescue/rx use/syslinux/ui/gfxboot
    are unlikely to play very nice together due to the latter's
    magic l10n: "session" label is taken by live_rw config snippet
    and *is* translated in design-bootloader-source;
    OTOH "rescue_session" is *not*.
