There are use cases where the port and mount path of the NFS root need
to be changed from the default values, e.g. with the userspace NFS
daemon used by 'ptxdist nfsroot', which tells you:
Mount rootfs with nfsroot=/root,v3,tcp,port=13049,mountport=13049
(The port number can vary of course, depending on how many users on your
devel server have already started unfsd at the same time.)
Support such use cases by introducing two new variables for the port
number and the mount path, which get inserted into the kernel command
line. Use the old default mount path as fallback when the new variable
is not set.
