That patch seems to be just checking more devices/partitions for images?

The patch causes a different root filesystem to be used. Specifically, if the kernel command line specifies a root filesystem that must be used, then that one will always be mounted, even if other devices are available.
I'm not sure how to explain what is going on in there, but that is the patch for shimmer.
