If you want to have access to the root subvol, the easiest way is to
just mount it:

	mkdir /mnt/root-subvol
	mount /dev/... /mnt/root-subvol -o subvol=

(note the parameter "subvol" is set to "").

A btrfs subvol can be mounted multiple times in multiple places, so each
application that requires the root subvol can simply mount its own.

There is no general solution for accessing the root subvol through
an arbitrary existing mountpoint because the root subvol might not be
accessible to a process (e.g. chroot, different namespace, etc) or might
not be mounted at all (e.g. mount -o subvol=miguel /dev/... /path/...).
