dhcp and any seem to do the same thing. Get rid of any?

This is "legacy" from kernel nfsroot. We should keep this for
compatibility.


* ip=<interface>:[dhcp|on|any]
o get ip from dhcp server on a specific interface
* ip=[none|off]
o no TCP/IP network

What is the point of this? When is this ever useful?

ip=[none|off] doesn't make any sense at all. Can be removed IMHO.

ip none and off are mentioned here as well, although it seems ambiguous as to the purpose.
