New inxi support feature: -Sa - show kernel boot parameters

[h2-1]

Someone suggested I add the contents of /proc/cmdline to inxi to help with support issues, particularly around graphics drivers, which I thought was a good idea. it basically helps support people skip a step in collecting info about say why a video driver isn't working (e.g., no blacklisting when running nvidia, or blacklisting when running nouveau).

This is triggered by the --admin / -a option, and is seen in -S line, System.

For example, inxi -GSa or inxi -baz or inxi -Fazxx

This new support/debugging feature is available in inxi 3.0.34, hot off the presses last night. This might be of use to you, I already found a slightly misconfigured grub default linux command line item on one system with it. I know, I know, it's easy to cat /proc/cmdline, but this just saves a step, and gets all the results in one easy to read block.
