I agree that large command lines are awkward. Environment variables are
the standard Linux way to pass the bulk of what we pass on the command line.
Unfortunately, the kernel team does not own the bootloader and consideration
for making the bootloader/kernel interface look like other platforms does
not appear to have a high priority. So, I'm stuck with using the command
line for everything.
