If you're using edit-livecd to embed a vendor specific script in the oVirt
ISO image, why wouldn't you just change the init process to call that
script instead of using a kernel cmdline parameter like this?

i.e. edit-livecd to add a new init script called vendor-foo to
/etc/init.d, then chkconfig that script on.  Now during startup the script
will automatically execute.

I suppose maybe some information about the use case that is driving this
request might help to explain.
