    Subject2.6 early userspace init

    Hi folks,

    how about adding something like this to init/do_mounts.c?

    I wont to be able to fetch the boot= parameter via /proc/cmdline
    in kinit and choose the boot devices, so I dislike the boot=0:0
    suggestion.
    Also, should the above code clear the init= parameter, i.e.
    main.c:execute_command?

    Cheers,
    Michael.
