kernel: missing interface to easily customize settings / modules

[Emilien Macchi]

The list of kernel modules and sysctl settings is hardcoded in kernel composable service in TripleO Heat Templates. They can be overridden via Hiera but if you go down that path, operator has to maintain the previous list of default parameters.

One option would be to give 2 parameters so the operators could give an extra dictionary of settings / modules that would merge with the default.
