Subject[PATCH 1/6] lib/cmdline.c: Add backslash support to kernel commandline parsing.
Date
This allows passing quotes in kernel arguments. It is useful for passing
fadump nested arguemnts in fadump_extra_args and might be useful if
somebody wanted to pass a double quote directly as part of an argument.

It is also useful to have quoting grammar more similar to shells and
bootloaders.
