+Subject: [PATCH] install: attempt to use an already mounted ESP at the target
+
+Let's attempt to use an already mounted ESP at the target
+dest_root if one is already mounted there in a known ESP location,
+if failed, will fallback to mount ESP partition of the device.
+
+See https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler/pull/4161
