Re: why 2 Kernel command line and module option parsers

Hello,

Now we get two Kernel command line and module option parsers, i.e.
lib/cmdline.c
lib/parser.c

I think we'd better merge them into one and make a kernel option standard since
the kernel options become more and more.

Are you volunteering?
