It can be pretty simple given that there's no real ordering or
formatting involved.

  enum {
          ECON_APPEND_RELEASE   = 1 << 0,
  ];

  static unsigned int ext_con_append_mask;

  static int __init ext_con_append_setup(char *str)
  {
          while (*str) {
                  switch (*str) {
                          case 'r':
                                  ext_con_append_mask |= ECON_APPEND_RELEASE;
                                  break;
                          default:
                                  pr_warning("Unknown ext ext con append format 
'%c'\n", *str);
                  }
                  str++;
          }
          return 1;
  }
  __setup("ext_con_append=", ext_con_append_setup);

And we can expand the list as necessary.  I don't think it needs to be
a compile time option either.  The code involved is minimal after all.

Thanks.
