I came across this:
 http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/frv/booting.txt

| (*) ip=<ip>::::<host>:<iface>:<cfg>
|
| Configure the network interface. If <cfg> is "off" then <ip> should
| specify the IP address for the network device <iface>. <host> provide
| the hostname for the device.
|
| If <cfg> is "bootp" or "dhcp", then all of these parameters will be
| discovered by consulting a BOOTP or DHCP server.
|
| For example, the following might be used:
|
| ip=192.168.73.12::::frv:eth0:off
|
| This sets the IP address on the VDK motherboard RTL8029 ethernet chipset
| (eth0) to be 192.168.73.12, and sets the board's hostname to be "frv".

So its possible we can already do this.
