Description

The "swapaccount=" option has been deprecated in 6.1. Disable it in almost all boot scripts except "boot-sun50iw9.cmd" since that one is used in sun50iw9 legacy kernel, which is version 4.9.

In theory, rk3588-legacy is also still <6.1, but that boot script is also used by 6.1 vendor kernel and the amount of new images being built/used with the 5.10 legacy kernel is likely minimal. As far as I know, bootscript won't update automatically, so these changes will only apply to freshly built images. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Closes issue https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/6633

Also, there are other kernel parameters, e.g.:

• cgroup_enable=cpuset
• cgroup_memory=1
• cgroup_enable=memory

https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/d7db1cd26b926bff2b19193f6de30dbc1910aa20/config/bootscripts/boot-rockchip64.cmd#L42

I couln't find out why cgroup_enable= is added here. The official kernel parameters doc (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt) only lists a cgroup_disable= option. Maybe this is some relic of the past? Does anyone know?`

Is there a way to find out on a live kernel what the boot arguments actually did?
