Subject: [PATCH] Add a -k option to reboot to specify the kernel to boot next
 time around.  If the kernel boots successfully, the record of this kernel is
 erased, it is intended to be a one-shot option for testing kernels.

This could be improved by having the loader remove the record of
the next kernel to boot, it is currently removed in /etc/rc immediately
after disks are mounted r/w.

I'd like to MFC this before the 4.6 freeze unless there is violent
objection.
