[Bug 1563990] [NEW] Need a GUI option to set per node kernel parameters

[Raghuram Kota]

Public bug reported:

In the near future, we'd expect to have a number of new  ARM64 platforms
( Cavium, APM, Qualcomm, Broadcom etc)   supported in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Some of these use UEFI + DTB as the default  boot mechanism, whereas
others are expected to use UEFI +ACPI as thedefault boot mode.

Upstream kernel (and hence Ubuntu 16.04) currently defaults to booting
with DTB mechanism  when it finds DTB info on the platform, which many
of the UEFI+ACPI boot mode  platforms also tend to provide as a backup.
So  we need to be able to pass a kernel parameter to force ACPI mode
boot for platforms which would like to use  UEFI +ACPI as the default
boot mode.

MaaS  API today provides  a method to pass in per node kernel parameters
via tags. But there is no way today to do this from GUI. So this is
request to add  the MaaS GUI capability to allow passing the per node
kernel parameters.
