[PATCH 2.6] fix address passing of unknown_bootoption

Hi Andrew,

Addresses of functions are returned by their name without
parantheses. Remove an & in main.c

Sorry for the attachment. My mailer is currently broken and
corrupts diffs.

BTW:
I have two strange oopses. Can the additional & be the reason
for the oopses? They look very strange to me, hmm.
