It is often advantageous to pass parameters to built-in kernel

not work with loadable modules where modprobe reads its options from the
config files. This patch adds support for modprobe to read /proc/cmdline
and add any options it finds when inserting the modules.
This is really nice and will allow us to drop some code both from the
livecd boot path and the installer, both of which read things
from /proc/cmdline and drop them into modprobe.conf if relevant
