      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.
