But that's only part of the work, right? As I see it, you'll also need code
that converts an older version of the args to the current one. Or the
structures need to be backward compatible -- i.e. adding stuff is only
allowed at the end and there's some way of initializing those addition, if
an older version is passed by the boot loader.
