Now we have the possibility to move the kernel near the modules, and
this could lead some interesting possibility: think about different
linux installations, with an own kernel version and an own modules
version; what are the reasons to put together under /boot different
kernel which potential conflicting names ? de facto standard ?
historical reasons ? Nothing wrong here; but also the idea to moving
the kernel under /lib/modules is not so wrong.


No, it is completely, totally and very very seriously wrong.
When a bootloader (and the bioses) will be able to address the whole
diskS, this will change.. Not now
Why not the other way around? /boot/modules-3.4 or so.

But either way, these are different discussions. H. Peter´s question was, 
if I understood correctly, whether to use subvolid or path?
For which ?
If you want to point the bootloader subvolume (where the 2nd stage
relies), I suggest subvolid=. If you need to point to the kernel
(bzImage/initrd) *for my setup* it would be useful to use the path.
Unfortunately these two requirements are in contrast.
I tend to lean towards subvolid.
