Subject: syslinux.bbclass: Enable additional kernel parameters for syslinux
X-Git-Tag: 2015-4~3172
X-Git-Url: https://code.ossystems.io/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d78c4d51ed266c14b0425f6abf553392c6ebe408;p=openembedded-core.git

syslinux.bbclass: Enable additional kernel parameters for syslinux

Add additional parameter 'SYSLINUX_KERNEL_ARGS' in order to allow
for specific kernel parameters to be set when using syslinux.

The extra kernel parameters are added to btype[1] and then written out
as part of the APPEND field.
