This patch changes the boot command line option to the canonical format -boot [order=]drives[,interactive=on|off] where 'drives' is using the same format as the old -boot. The format switch allows to add the 'interactive' option and use the existing infrastructure to parse it. However, the old format is still understood and will be processed at least for a transition time. The state of 'interactive' is transfered to the firmware via the new configuration value FW_CFG_BOOT_INTERACTIVE.
Perhaps interactive (and the boot order itself) should be forgotten after a successful boot? A typical use case is to boot an installer off the cdrom; the next boot ought to try the hard disk. But perhaps other use cases don't want that.
