If you're going to respin it anyway, can you rename 'page' to 'buf'
or something?  Kind of confusing to have a char * called 'page'.

is it really worth doing a strcpy() followed by a custom strtok()?
would this work better?

	char c;

	do {
		c =  *root_fs_names++;
		*buf++ = c;
		if (c == ',')
			buf[-1] = '\0';
	} while (c);

it occurs to me that get_filesystem_list() fails silently.  if you build
every linux filesystem in, and want your root on zonefs (assuming
they're alphabetical), we'll fail to find it without a message
indicating that we overflowed the buffer.
