+	hostname=	[KNL] Set the hostname (aka UTS nodename).
+			Format: <string>
+			This allows setting the system's hostname during early
+			startup. This sets the name returned by gethostname.
+			Using this parameter to set the hostname makes it
+			possible to ensure the hostname is correctly set before
+			any userspace processes run, avoiding the possibility
+			that a process may call gethostname before the hostname
+			has been explicitly set, resulting in the calling
+			process getting an incorrect result. The string must
+			not exceed the maximum allowed hostname length (usually
+			64 characters) and will be truncated otherwise.
