Can initramfs be mounted read-only?

[David Wuertele]

I've been trying to create a system with a read-only rootfs using initramfs,
but I'm not having any luck.  I've included "ro" on my command line and when
I cat /proc/cmdline it reports "ro" like I expect.  But when I type "mount",
I see this:

  rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)

And I can create new files and write to them just fine.  Is it possible to
mount an initramfs read-only?

The documentation for early userspace and initramfs does not talk about
read/write permissions.

Thanks,
Dave
