As Linux (and other systems), also the kfreebsd kernel supports command
line switches, the user might want to append upon boot through grub. See
[1] for a list of recognized boot options.
Therefore I'd like to suggest to add support for command line switches
through the Debian /etc/default/grub mechanism, namely
GRUB_CMDLINE_KFREEBSD and GRUB_CMDLINE_KFREEBSD_DEFAULT.
To achieve this, not only 10_kfreebsd.in needs to be patched, but also
grub-mkconfig.in. I attached a patch enabling support for the variables
above, which work very similar to the way of their LINUX counterparts.
Note I didn't test the result binary package, because building the grub2
binary package does not work in a pbuilder chroot and I didn't want to
trash my system with build dependencies of it. However I did test the
final scripts and they seem to work.
