Just do it properly, and fix your disk partitioning scheme. /usr is
nowadays required to boot a system properly, so needs to be available
during early boot. So, either move /usr to separate partition, so it can
be mounted by the initramfs or move the contents of /usr to your root
partition.

Everything else will just bite you in the long run.
