Wow, seems I didn't give enough thought to it.

Trust me, I don't want to do it either. However, I need to check if
ramdisk_execute_command exist before chroot while the cpio is unpacked
to '/root'.

Maybe I can check it after chroot, but I need to chroot back if it not
exist. Can I chroot back in a nice way?

I tried to move the mount on '/root' to '/' before I do this check in
absolute path, but seems '/' is special, the lookup of '/init' never
follow the mount on '/' and it can't be found. However, if I lookup
'/../init', it can be found!

Is there any one have a good idea? Or I have to dig into the code
of 'kern_path()' and figure out the reason.

Thanks!
