OK, what your estimage for this then? It would be nice to have all this stuff in 2.6.24, which doesn't leave a lot of time. But if it's just those four options you mentioned, it should be managable. I do not think there needs to be some generic code to hande userspace-only options, it would be perfectly fine just to parse, store and show them like all the other options.
