Welcome here! You did this right :)

Your analysis seems entirely correct to me. Now I wonder: why do we
need to call Cmdline_old at all? Is it so that live-boot functions
get_custom_mounts() honor custom arguments a user may have manually
passed on the kernel command line? Could you provide any example
of such an argument we may wish to support actively in Tails?
