I came across this as I was poking around some of the command line
parsing. AFAICT, initargs_found will never be set to true here, because
parse_args handles "--" itself by immediately returning: it doesn't
invoke the callback for it. So you'd instead have to check the return of
parse_args("bootconfig"...) to detect the initargs_found case.
