Part of it is from the kernel documentation. Part of it is guesses based
on what I've seen.

I think everything after init= or rdinit= is passed. If neither init or
rdinit is specified, you might be right with your assumption. I didn't
investigate this too far, as we simply pass on those arguments with "$@"
to init.

(Btw, init= is another variable that (like root=) isn't passed by the
kernel.)
