I like this approach, but as I wrote before, it seems that 
initramfs executes a "btrfs dev scan".... (see my previoue email 
'Re: PROBLEM: #89121 BTRFS mixes up mounted devices with their snapshots' 
date 2014/12/03 9:34):

$ grep -r "btrfs dev.*scan" /usr/share/initramfs-tools/
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/btrfs:	/sbin/btrfs device scan 2> /dev/null

(this is from a debian). 
However it has to be pointed out that
fedora doesn't seems to do the same...

I have to investigate a bit....
