      x86, bootup: add built-in kernel command line for x86 (v2) · 516cbf37
      Tim Bird authored
      Allow x86 to support a built-in kernel command line.  The built-in
      command line can override the one provided by the boot loader, for
      those cases where the boot loader is broken or it is difficult
      to change the command line in the the boot loader.

      OK. This version changes absolutely nothing if CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL is not
      set (the default).  Also, no space is appended even when CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL
      is set, but the builtin string is empty.  This is less sloppy all the way
      around, IMHO.
      
      Note that I use the same option names as on other arches for
      this feature.
