You can check /proc/cmdline.
Would still be confusing as hell, if e.g. a user wants to test quirks and runs one of the vbe-* quirks, but what he actually gets is a strange mix of acpi_flags and vbe-* quirks. Past experience has shown, that users were confused by the old behaviour. It also bears the risk, that we get wrong suspend quirks from users and add them to hal-info (unless we don't forget to ask each time if the users has passed acpi flags via the kernel cmd line).
