add exposedroot option which exposes the root fs as ro
This option allows you to expose the root read only. Using this option a person could upgrade the root filesystem or add packages without requiring the user to reboot. The root filesystem could be kept on an nfs volume or some other persistent medium. Multiple clients could then be booted off the same root fs. I used LTSP as a template to determine which directories to make rw.
