Subject: [POWERPC] Editable kernel command-line in zImage binary.
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=30d8caf7c625203b295a78f143820cdc3124830b;p=linux-beck.git

[POWERPC] Editable kernel command-line in zImage binary.

zImage will set /chosen/bootargs (if it is otherwise empty) with the
contents of a buffer in the section "__builtin_cmdline".  This permits
tools to edit zImage binaries to set the command-line eventually
processed by vmlinux.
