+Kernel parameters via Boot Config
+=================================
+
+In addition to the kernel command line, the boot config can be used for
+passing the kernel parameters. All the key-value pairs under ``kernel``
+key will be passed to kernel cmdline directly. Moreover, the key-value
+pairs under ``init`` will be passed to init process via the cmdline.
+The parameters are concatinated with user-given kernel cmdline string
+as the following order, so that the command line parameter can override
+bootconfig parameters (this depends on how the subsystem handles parameters
+but in general, earlier parameter will be overwritten by later one.)::
+
+ [bootconfig params][cmdline params] -- [bootconfig init params][cmdline init params]
+
+Here is an example of the bootconfig file for kernel/init parameters.::
+
+ kernel {
+   root = 01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcd
+ }
+ init {
+  splash
+ }
+
+This will be copied into the kernel cmdline string as the following::
+
+ root="01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcd" -- splash
+
+If user gives some other command line like,::
+
+ ro bootconfig -- quiet
+
+The final kernel cmdline will be the following::
+
+ root="01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcd" ro bootconfig -- splash quiet
