Ok it sounds liek we have two implementations of the ip= option, one in the kernel and one in initramfs-tools. As we load the majority of network drivers from the initramfs it does not seem logical to waste time in the kernel attempting this there when on average we do not have the required drivers and cannot load them until the initramfs starts. Assuming we have feature parity in userspace we should disable this. Will investigate.
