Greetings.

the change to using switch_root leaves /sys and /proc in an unmounted state.
busybox's switch_root doesn't appear to handle the /sys and /proc moving the
way that util-linux's switch_root does.

either busybox's switch_root should be fixed, initramfs-tools uses util-linux's
switch_root, or manually handle mounting the dirs, just like how it's done with
run-init. the following patch implements the last approach.

live well,

Work around busybox's switch_root, which doesn't handle moving /proc and /sys
into the root before switching, by moving the /proc and /sys directories
directly.
