Well, even if you pass the memory map to the kernel with other ways,
you the command line to be set by the user. 

But another possibility would be to do it like IA64 (patching ELF
symbols and don't setup the memory like a bootloader as done currently
on x86_64/i386). Don't know if that can be trafered to other
architectures. Vivek? :)

Bernhard
