as discussed on IRC, this first iteration of the code simply replaces teh exsiting mechanism of setting datapart= and systempart= on the kernel cmdline with a file with hardcoded values that lives inside the initrd and thus enforces you to rebuild it. 

obviously the boot.img in question offers to easily extrend the kernel cmdline without repacking anything (worst case by using an external "abootimg -u" call at the end of the build, but usually abootimg based boot.img files even have a config file in the tree that you can use to set the value for "cmdline=")

the configuration as explained above would use the existing mechanism in a way less intrusive way without enforcing that you need to rebuild the initrd.

what i see missing in our implementation is the support for devicemount= which you use in your code below.

can you please change the MP to enhance the existing "datapart= and systempart= interface" with this variable ? 

if you need help with setting the cmdline in boot.img during device build i'm happily available to help with this.
