Thanks for the clue donation. I've read the code harder now. Tricky.
OK, I think this is close. I'll grab a cross-compiler and build test at
least, and do a followup patch to switch those __early_param() to core_param
which will simplify this a little. I'll revert the cmdline() separation now
too, since it's unnecessary, but I have to go run errands for the rest of the
day :(
A couple of #if 0 around code I don't think can happen (even in the orignal
place I moved it from?)
Thanks!
Rusty.
