内核参数通过一个静态的tag链表在启动的时候传递到内核。每个tag的结构为

     +-----------+

     tag_header

     +-----------+

     tag_xxx

     +-----------+

    其中tag_header为tag头，表明tag_xxx的类型和大小，之所以要标识tag_xxx的类型是因为不同的tag需要不同的处理函数。tag_header的结构为

    struct tag_header

    {

     int size;

     int tag;

    }

    size表示tag的结构大小，
