Subject: Don't assume arguments to init have no period in them.
From: Rob Landley <rob@xxxxxxxxxxx>
The kernel assumes that nobody will ever legitimately feed in a kernel
command line option with a period in it, and the kernel is wrong: I'm
feeding the path to a script as an argument to my init program, the name of
the script ends in .sh.
I've been using this patch ever since 2.6.13, and I still need it.
