Hello,

Inlined is a patch to have the kernel read its parameters from a
config file when booted via the EFI boot stub without any parameters
passed. This patch roughly follows the plan I discussed when
proposing this idea, except now the file is found relative to the
location of the bzImage and there is no additional check to see if
image->parent_handle is NULL (despite the spec saying it will be NULL
when the image was loaded by the firmware itself, it was never NULL
on any of the systems I tested).

Cheers,
Shea Levy

I haven't yet gotten a reply to this, should I wait until after the merge window and resubmit it then?
