Unrecognized parameters on the kernel command line are disregarded, so your platforms should be able to parse /proc/cmdline for version_addendum=foo already. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
