The kernel ignores any unrecognised any unrecognised arguments on the
command line, except that if they do follow the format name=value they
are passed as arguments to the init process (i.e. the initramfs).

*Any* process may read and interpret the kernel command line as it
wishes, so the set of possible parameters is effectively infinite.
