+Subject: [PATCH] core: reorder systemd arguments on reexec
+
+When reexecuting system let's put our arguments carrying deserialization
+info first followed by any existing arguments to make sure they get
+parsed in case we get weird stuff from the kernel cmdline (like --).
+
+See: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/28184
