>10+ years ago, I wanted to switch from initrd to initramfs. I had an extremely difficult time getting it all correct because switch_root has a lot of extremely specific requirements that you must meet before calling it, and any failure immediately after calling switch_root can be notoriously hard to debug.

  Note that with a little luck, we won't have to deal with switch_root
anymore starting with linux-7.0:

  Finally being able to pivot_root off rootfs will feel *so good*.
