Do you mean the following ?
- list the partitions (same as now)
- let the user choose a partition (same as now)
- if the filesystem is btrfs,
- mount the top level subvolume on /target
- list the subvolumes
- if there are subvolumes (other than top level),
- let the user choose a subvolume (including top level and default)
- if the selected subvolume is not top level,
- unmount the top level subvolume
- mount the selected subvolume on /target

I see two issues with this:
- If the default subvolume is not the top level subvolume, then other
subvolumes which are not in its path are hidden.
- rescue.d/ scripts which may belong to other packages than rescue-mode
such as grub-install expect the system root to be in /target.
The first issue can be solved by mounting the top level subvolume
instead of the default subvolume. However the second issue requires to
change the interface between rescue-mode and rescue.d scripts.

Do you mean if the filesystem has only the top level subvolume ? Or only
one subvolume such as @rootfs in the top level subvolume ?
