This adds a simple boot blessing module, to be used, with the Zyxel NWA50AX. There's a lot of elephant in the rooms: how do you upgrade kernel, etc. Signed-off-by: Raito Bezarius <masterancpp@gmail.com>

## Boot blessing via Zyxel
|
|
## =======================
|
|
## Boot blessing is the process to bless a particular boot configuration
|
|
## It is commonly encountered in devices with redundant partitions
|
|
## for automatic recovery of broken upgrades.
|
|
## This is also known as A/B schemas, where A represents the primary partition
|
|
## and B the secondary partition used for recovery.
|
|
## To use boot blessing on Liminix, you need to have the support of
|
|
## your bootloader to help you boot on the secondary partition in case of
|
|
## failure on the primary partition. The exact details are specifics to your device.
|
|
## See the Zyxel NWA50AX for an example.
|
|
## TODO: generalize this module.

On MIPS, Liminix embeds the kernel command line in /proc/device-tree/chosen/bootargs-override.

In this instance, it does not get concatenated with `/proc/cmdline`.

Therefore you may prefer to source it from another place, like `/proc/device-tree/chosen/bootargs`.
