Looks like I forgot my footnote:
[1] In case this has been unclear a quote from
Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt:
| What is rootfs?
| ---------------
|
| Rootfs is a special instance of ramfs (or tmpfs, if that's enabled), which is
| always present in 2.6 systems. You can't unmount rootfs for approximately the
| same reason you can't kill the init process; rather than having special code
| to check for and handle an empty list, it's smaller and simpler for the kernel
| to just make sure certain lists can't become empty.
|
| Most systems just mount another filesystem over rootfs and ignore it. The
| amount of space an empty instance of ramfs takes up is tiny.
