Whichever path works best works for me!

Here are the three commits I have queued, just please let me know when any
of them are pulled into some other tree and I will drop them from -rcu.

97edd1291847 ("doc: Update /proc/cmdline documentation to include boot config")
0fe10f0d1873 ("fs/proc: Add /proc/raw_cmdline for boot loader arguments")
9192c6ac7516 ("doc: Add /proc/bootconfig to proc.rst")

							Thanx, Paul
