Why do you dup the name here?

I was getting ignoring const warning, but maybe the right solution is
to just use const char *name here.. Let me check.

So fix add_preferred_console() instead ;).

Let's see what kind of trouble changing it to use const char *name
might be.

I don't see any, the string is copied internally. So it should be straightforward. Actually all three parameters of __add_preferred_console() should be const, IMO. But that involves changing struct console_cmdline. But that should be straightforward too.


Aside from that, why do you parse saved_command_line on your own? Instead of using setup() or other commonly used mechanisms for command line handling?
