Yeah, I was thinking that maybe it belonged under os, but I decided it really
should stay in kernel.  That's the kernel's version of the command line, not
what was passed in from the host.

Yeah, that's a concern.  I'm holding onto the code movement because I want to
look at the os interface that resulted from it, and see if it can be cleaned
up.

What patch is this?  All I see is a patch which makes some small fixes to
the sys_call_table.

Don't send that anywhere until I've seen it.  Your description of it makes
me nervous.
