[PATCH] Support dropin files for Linux kernel parameters

2024-03-01 Thread Simon Rowe

Proposal: disaggregated kernel parameters for Linux

2024-02-02 Thread Simon Rowe
I have a suggestion I’d like to have feedback on regarding the management of Linux kernel parameters. Today the parameters for a Linux menu entry have to be specified in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX entry of /etc/default/grub. These parameters cover a number of purposes, not just the kernel (e.g.
