    bootconfig: Support embedding a bootconfig file in kernel · a2a9d67a
    Masami Hiramatsu authored
    This allows kernel developer to embed a default bootconfig file in
    the kernel instead of embedding it in the initrd. This will be good
    for who are using the kernel without initrd, or who needs a default
    bootconfigs.
    This needs to set two kconfigs: CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED=y and set
    the file path to CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED_FILE.
    
    Note that you still need 'bootconfig' command line option to load the
    embedded bootconfig. Also if you boot using an initrd with a different
    bootconfig, the kernel will use the bootconfig in the initrd, instead
    of the default bootconfig.
