And it's ugly; can't we fix grub instead?
I am searching for bootloader which can pass whitespaces. It looks like we should patch grub-legacy (0.97), grub (1.98) and lilo...
(I did not try lilo yet, but man page says nothing about passing spaces in 'append=' option description)
append can contain any arbitrary string, which will be parsed by the kernel. I e.g. use:
append="root=/dev/sda2 snd_ac97_codec.power_save=1 usbcore.autosuspend=1 hpet=force quiet drm_kms_helper.poll=0"
And grub also supports an append string with spaces, that is probably used by every distribution.
The question is, what will the kernel parser do about that space?
