[PATCH 0/2] Fix start_vm script

[Alexander Smirnov]

Hi all,

eventually we've found two issues with start_vm script. Now it works
good after wic series applying on my Debian jessie machine.

@Henning: is it OK to apply this patches on top of your series, or it'd
be better to update respective patch in your series with this changes?

[PATCH 1/2] start_vm: Fix quotes usage

[Alexander Smirnov]

According to the following chapter:

http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/syntax/quoting#quotes_and_escaping

  MYARG="\"my multiword argument\""
  somecommand $MYARG

is NOT the same as:

  command "my multiword argument"

So this patch splits kernel params to separate variable for correct
interpretation.

Tested with bash and dash in Debian jessie.

If I understand this correctly, $KARGS could be empty for some cases. 
Does it work with empty $KARGS? Let me check this. But in general I like 
your suggestion.
