I assume that init is passed on the kernel command line like init=/what/ever, right ?
Why not make that INIT=/what/ever, then make this /sbin/init:
main() { execl(getenv("INIT"), getenv("INIT"), "other", "args", NULL); }
Kernel command line args not reckognized by the kernel get put into the environment of init ..
