To make the bootstrap decide which ones are overrides and which are additions is going to be ugly. I'm sure we could make it very complicated, but we decided to simply append the parameters from the IPL statement to what is in the NSS already. Main reason to combine both is that the 64 byte from the IPL statement is a bit small. It's then up to the particular code in the kernel when the same parameter occurs twice.
