Thanks for an update.
I prefer to see some flag that tells user that options were forced by
the kernel itself (something like err > 0 returned from ->setup()),
but I think it's matter of an additional fix. In principle user can
check the command line and / or DT/ACPI vs. dmesg, although it will
require an extra work.
