Subject: parse-boot-parameter-error.patch breaks UML

>From the changelog:

	Say a boot parameter is "xxx", if you give a string "xxxy", then the
	boot parameter's corresponding function is executed.

UML has parameters such as "ubda=<filename>" which are matched by
__setup("ubd", ubd_setup), which hits the "error" case this patch now
outlaws.
