Oh, now I understand what you and Laurent meant: apart from
`/proc/cmdline', the kernel also exports its boot parameters (except for
`root=...', parameters without a value and possibly something else) into
the environment of the init process. This is really useful when not all
parameters need to be scanned, which is often the case.
