I am not including this change. The reason that boot-args and root-device
are still set as special cases at all is so that a new kernel can still
boot an old boot script for an old hurd. The setting of root should just
come from the generic parsing of the command line.
I checked in some different changes to print helpful things out during startup.
Please let me know if I broke anything there.

Thanks, I put that change in.
