I think this may be all I need:

sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
[nbecker at nbecker2 ~]$ ls -l /mnt
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root  14 Jun  1 18:46 home
dr-xr-xr-x. 1 root root 172 Jun  2 09:39 root

[nbecker at nbecker2 ~]$ sudo btrfs sub snap /mnt/root /mnt/root-f21
Create a snapshot of '/mnt/root' in '/mnt/root-f21'
[nbecker at nbecker2 ~]$ ls -l /mnt
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root  14 Jun  1 18:46 home
dr-xr-xr-x. 1 root root 172 Jun  2 09:39 root
dr-xr-xr-x. 1 root root 172 Jun  2 09:39 root-f21

So now I have a snap of f21 root in in root-f21 subvol, and I should be able 
to rollback by editing grub.cfg and /etc/fstab to point to root-f21 subvol 
instead of root subvol, correct?
