150-ignore-init-argument.patch: some openmoko security feature?

[Timo Lindfors]

I started looking at the patches at

https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/target/linux/s3c24xx/patches-2.6.30

and noticed that there is for example 150-ignore-init-argument.patch
which has a description

> Revision 16738, 0.7 KB  (checked in by mirko, 3 weeks ago)
> do not allow overriding the init argument by bootloaders

Is this some openwrt specific security feature? ;-)
