I did, then I checked it booted without the patch, then tried
building from scratch with the patch twice and same thing
happened each time.

Looked like this, such as it is:
[ OK ] Reached target Switch Root.
[ OK ] Started Plymouth switch root service.
       Starting Switch Root...

I don't have any evidence but thought it might be this:
https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/blob/master/sys-utils/switch_root.c

Mind you, that's not the actual systemd repo. either I probably
need to look a lot deeper (and at the actual systemd repo) to
work out what's actually being called.
