when early_param("string", function_name) will be called?

[sandeep kumar]

Hi all,

In kernel code at lot of places i came across
"early_param("string", function_name)"

Eg: early_param("vmalloc", early_vmalloc); in arch/arm/mm/mmu.c

when this function will be called? and what is the significance of the
string "vmalloc" there?

Thank you..
