The Boot Loader Specification [1] type #2 entry files use the keyword "options" for the kernel command line, which corresponds to extlinux's "append". Recognising it here lets the existing pxelinux parser ingest BLS entries unchanged, paving the way for a BLS bootmeth that reuses the parser instead of duplicating it.
No effect on existing extlinux/pxelinux files: "options" is not a valid keyword in those formats, so it cannot collide with prior usage.
