Unhandled name=value arguments are used to set environment variables, and 
rather a lot of arguments are intercepted as kernel flags.  Even if whatever 
was left was sent to init, I'd feel a little funny about trusting it.  (This 
is more a job for initramfs.)

But the more fundamental problem is that I tried ctty from the pid 1 command 
shell in the UML instance, and it didn't make any difference I could spot.
