      bootconfig: Only load bootconfig if "bootconfig" is on the kernel cmdline · 7495e092
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored
      As the bootconfig is appended to the initrd it is not as easy to modify as
      the kernel command line. If there's some issue with the kernel, and the
      developer wants to boot a pristine kernel, it should not be needed to modify
      the initrd to remove the bootconfig for a single boot.
      
      As bootconfig is silently added (if the admin does not know where to look
      they may not know it's being loaded). It should be explicitly added to the
      kernel cmdline. The loading of the bootconfig is only done if "bootconfig"
      is on the kernel command line. This will let admins know that the kernel
      command line is extended.
      
      Note, after adding printk()s for when the size is too great or the checksum
      is wrong, exposed that the current method always looked for the boot config,
      and if this size and checksum matched, it would parse it (as if either is
      wrong a printk has been added to show this). It's better to only check this
      if the boot config is asked to be looke...
