initramfs/cryptroot-hook already contains canonical_device(), which does
exactly what is needed. the only problem is, that it is invoked at
add_device() instead of get_resume_devices() and get_root_device(). i
prepared a patch which solves this in a much easier way, see attachment.

this patch isn't tested yet though, will do that the next days.

stephan, if you want, you can give the patch a try as well.

greetings,
