-Subject: [PATCH 1/6] ppc64: add --reuse-cmdline parameter support
-
-An option to copy the command line arguments from running kernel
-to kexec'd kernel. This option works for both kexec and kdump.
-
-In case --append=<args> or --command-line=<args> is provided along
-with --reuse-cmdline parameter then args listed against append and
-command-line parameter will be combined with command line argument
-from running kernel.
