This is a useful read only filesystem for images that is efficient and
small as it supports compression.
For many use cases, when you are writing to media, it makes more sense than
using an initramfs as it does not require RAM, and it is more suitable for
disk media than ISO.

This enables per task (IO) accounting which is useful
for monitoring IO activity and the like.

Note, on x86_64 for 4.12.9 a new kernel option,
HARDLOCKUP_CHECK_TIMESTAMP was added which defaults to enabled. It enables
a low pass filter to compensate for perf based hard lockup detection.
Added this option to the x86_64 4.12.x kernel confog file.

The host side VSOCK implementation introduced with
0009-VSOCK-Introduce-vhost_vsock.ko.patch
does not compile due to vhost_vq_init_access not being defined.
VHOST support (including VHOST_VSOCK) was enabled with
86deeaff ("kernel: Bring 4.4 x86_64 kernel config more in line
with 4.9") but not compile tested. Having VHOST support in
itself is fine, it's just the VHOST_VSOCK portion which is not
avail.
