why?
We have a need to keep a single product binary (kernel) across multiple
android devices. A subset of these platforms are looking for extra
versioning information appended to it, accessible via /proc/version.
Rather than build multiple otherwise identical kernels with only this
extended versioning as differentiation, we are looking to make this a
command line parameter. Understandable if there isn't enough value-add
for the community in this patch, but I figured I'd give the patch a
shot, as we need this functionality locally. Thanks.
