Just for the record. I didn't say I _want_ a config option. Do not
misinterpret my words. I've said that a config option would be
acceptable if there is no way to deliver the functionality via kernel
package automatically. You haven't provided any argument that would
explain why the kernel package cannot add a boot option. Maybe there are
some but I do not see them right now.
