param: hand arguments after -- straight to init
The kernel passes any args it doesn't need through to init, except it
assumes anything containing '.' belongs to the kernel (for a module).
This change means all users can clearly distinguish which arguments
are for init.
For example, the kernel uses debug ("dee-bug") to mean log everything to
the console, where systemd uses the debug from the Scandinavian "day-boog"
meaning "fail to boot". If a future versions uses argv[] instead of
reading /proc/cmdline, this confusion will be avoided.
eg: test 'FOO="this is --foo"' -- 'systemd.debug="true true true"'
Gives:
argv[0] = '/debug-init'
argv[1] = 'test'
argv[2] = 'systemd.debug=true true true'
envp[0] = 'HOME=/'
envp[1] = 'TERM=linux'
envp[2] = 'FOO=this is --foo'
