Having files on btrfs subvolumes requires to give mount options. Add
boot params archisoflags= and cow_flags= for this purpose. Boot
parameters could look like this:
... archisodevice=/dev/sdaX archisoflags=subvolume=isos
cow_device=/dev/sdaX cow_flags=subvolume=persist ...

Umount detaches the loop device automatically, but let's make it
explicit to be sure. Additionally losetup gives:
losetup: /dev/loop0: detach failed: No such device or address
This is kind of expected, let's silent the error message.

The name is more relevant since the usage is shared for both
dm-snapshot and overlayfs.

This is the first attemp to test overlayfs in archiso.
The current dm-snapshot mode is keep and is enabled by default,
while the new mode is enabled via "-s sfs" to mkarchiso.
No new boot parameters are added, since archiso hooks detects
if the .sfs file is for dm-snapshot (airootfs.img inside)
or for overlayfs.
Persistence is supported in overlayfs mode using the same options
(cowlabel or cowdevice), but warning while in dm-snapshot mode,
only one file is used (airootfs.cow), in overlayfs mode internal
files for workdir/ and upperdir/ are allocated, so you can not use
VFAT or NTFS.
To test this, you need to enable [testing] in pacman.conf from
releng profile and edit build.sh then add "-s sfs" in make_prepare()
Look at:
setarch ${arch} mkarchiso ${verbose} -w "${work_dir}" -D "${install_dir}" prepare
Replace with:
setarch ${arch} mkarchiso ${verbose} -w "${work_dir}" -s sfs -D "${install_dir}" prepare
The build requires just half of space that the build for dm-snapshot,
since there is no ext4 img ;)
Just to remember: there is no space gain in .sfs (just about 2M)
There is at least one thing during boot with machine-id service:

Copying big amount of data results in bad performance as data is
written in chunks of 4kiB (8 * 512 bytes).
The default is not changed but can be overwritten.

Among other things, 0bb94de ([archiso] Drop aitab support, 2014-06-28)
removed the possibility to manually set a specific architecture by using
kernel parameters. This, however, is useful, e.g. when installing Arch
Linux on a device that reports itself as i586 but works fine with the
i686 flavor.

Always create one filesystem of a fixed size (32G), format (ext4) and
know name "airootfs".
Simplify logic a lot.

If not set, nothing is changed in current behaviour.
Since dm-snapshot allows to use as "COW" a file with any size,
without caring about the the size of "origin", we can avoid creating a
"COW" file of the same size as the "origin". This is really useful,
when using as cow_device= a filesystem that is VFAT where sparse files
are not supported, so if root-image.fs is 1000M, passing cowfile_size=25%
will create a root-image.cow of 250M instead of 1000M.

This allows the root image to remain a [mostly] pristine
image, and turns default liveCD configurations into an
overlay, rather than copying them into the root image.

For now all it handles is bind mounting and squashfs
images that have to overlay at the root. The config
file syntax is obviously borrowed from fstab. This
is far from final, much of it could use some cleanup.

If asked to do so, mkarchiso simply copies a
directory full of addons to the iso root.
On boot, after union-mounting /real_root, the
archiso hook will look for and source an addon
config file. This file is a plain old bash
script, which makes it quite flexible. The addon
config should be written to take care of any
mounting that needs to be done, an example of
typical tasks is also included.

This implies a memory requirement for the running system, since
the sqfs image needs to be able to fit onto the ramdisk, which
breaks lowmem systems like qemu.
