Extra Boot Config (XBC) allows admin to pass a tree-structured
boot configuration file when boot up the kernel. This extends
the kernel command line in an efficient way.
Boot config will contain some key-value commands, e.g.
key.word = value1
another.key.word = value2
It can fold same keys with braces, also you can write array
data. For example,
key {
word1 {
setting1 = data
setting2
}
word2.array = "val1", "val2"
}
User can access these key-value pair and tree structure via
SKC APIs.
