Could you clarify this bit?  Specifically, what is the real ID of the
root volume, then?

I found that after having set the default subvolume to something other
than the root, and then mounting it without the -o subvol= option, then
the subvolume name does *not* show in /proc/self/mountinfo; the same
happens if a subvolume is mounted by -o subvolid= rather than -o subvol=.

Is this a bug?  This would seem to give the worst of both worlds in
terms of actually knowing what the underlying filesystem path would end
up looking like.
