[ Upstream commit 8bc2b3dca7292347d8e715fb723c587134abe013 ]
The prior message is confusing users, which is the exact opposite of the
goal. If the message is being seen, one of the following situations is
happening:
1. the param is misspelled
2. the param is not valid due to the kernel configuration
3. the param is intended for init but isn't after the '--'
delineator on the command line
To make that more clear to the user, explicitly mention "kernel command
line" and also note that the params are still passed to user space to
avoid causing any alarm over params intended for init.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
