[oe] [RFC] kexecboot: passing extra cmdline arguments

[Andrea Adami]

The new linux-kexecboot package provides a brand new 'second stage bootloader'
thus allowing to boot from different media (SD, nand,...).

The problem I see whit it, is that the kexec'ed kernel looks for cmdline in
/boot/kernel-cmdline, but that cmdline is statically compiled at build time and
ignores the 'mtdparts=' bootarg.

The patch attached to oebug 4520 provides a way to selectively filter
the cmdline of the
first  kernel (coming from bootloader) and pass it to the new kernel.

Comments and corrections are welcome!

Andrea
