Subject: [PATCH] blscfg: Don't hardcode an env var as fallback for the BLS
80913e
 options field
80913e
80913e
If the BLS fragments don't have an options field or if this was set to an
80913e
environment variable that was not defined in the grubenv file, the blscfg
80913e
module searches for a default_kernelopts variable that is defined in the
80913e
grub.cfg file.
80913e
80913e
But the blscfg module shouldn't hardcode fallbacks variables and instead
80913e
this logic should be handled in the GRUB config file itself.
80913e
80913e
Also, add a comment explaining where the kernelopts variable is supposed
80913e
to be defined and what is the process for the user to change its value.
