Bug Description

Enable a Linux on IBM Z admin to create a zipl configuration file that enables different kernel parameters depending on the IPL site

Enables the ability to prepare a Linux installation that can be booted on multiple systems with different kernel parameters without modifying the configuration. This is required for example for DR-setups where all Linux volumes are constantly mirrored to a secondary site, where kernel parameters (e.g. root statement, CCW device IDs, WWPNs, LUNs) are different from the primary site.
