Some hostcfgd tests override contents of /proc/cmdline using various methods. In the remaining cases, actual /proc/cmdline from the host running the tests is opened and processed.
For example, if
crashkernel=is present on the test machine, a number of tests will try accessing config db tableKDUMPand fail.To avoid influencing test results by the test environment, a new fixture is added to ensure reading /proc/cmdline returns an empty line by default.
