Extra commandline arguments
Location of 'linux' binary if you don't want the default picked up from your path
Location of modules (currently hardwired to /usr/lib/uml/...)

I am also going to be adding a 'TTYs' tab similar in spirit to the filesystem one
so that it is easy to setup where they all go.  (See recent discussion in uml-user
for hard some people find to understand that).

The thing I am looking forward to the most is undoable filesystems which will be
available in the same interface at runtime.

The other thing I have been considering is also doing runtime changes that require
scripting a session.  For example, if a user decides to double the size of the
root filesystem, this can be done by starting up UML with the install root with
ubd0 pointing to oldfs and ubd1 pointing to new one, mkfs the new one and copy
the contents across.

Similarly if the user changes settings in the ttys, it would require starting up
with the install root and editing /etc/inittab.

This could be automated as above, or the instructions could just be printed out
and it left as an "exercise for the reader".

I'll probably go the whole hog ...
