Kernel boot params, yes.
Note that this won't work. In general, you can't add kernel boot params to a guest, because we don't direct-boot the kernel. We boot the emulated BIOS, which calls grub, which calls the kernel.
Luckily there is a workaround. We can stuff some data into the SMBIOS tables during launch time, and use that as our injection mechanism instead.
