The recent changes for ip command line processing fixed some problems
but unfortunately broke some common usage scenarios. In current
2.6.24-rc6 the following command line results in no IP address
assignment, which is surely a regression:
ip=10.0.2.15::10.0.2.2:255.255.255.0::eth0:off
Please find below a patch that works for all cases I can find.

For convenience, here are the test cases phrased as qemu invocations:
ADDRESS ASSIGNED
qemu -kernel x86/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /dev/zero -append "ip=on"
qemu -kernel x86/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /dev/zero -append "ip=dhcp"
qemu -kernel x86/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /dev/zero -append "ip=both"

qemu -kernel x86/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /dev/zero -append "ip=::::::on"
qemu -kernel x86/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /dev/zero -append "ip=::::::dhcp"
qemu -kernel x86/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /dev/zero -append
"ip=10.0.2.15::10.0.2.2:255.255.255.0::eth0:off"
qemu -kernel x86/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /dev/zero -append
"ip=10.0.2.15::10.0.2.2:255.255.255.0::eth0:on"
ADDRESS NOT ASSIGNED

qemu -kernel x86/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /dev/zero -append "ip=off"
qemu -kernel x86/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /dev/zero -append "ip=::::::off"
