This code allows architectures to use a generic builtin command line.
The state of the builtin command line options across architecture is
diverse. On x86 and mips they have pretty much the same code and the
code prepends the builtin command line onto the boot loader provided
one. On powerpc there is only a builtin override and nothing else.
The code in this commit unifies the code into a generic
header file under the CONFIG_GENERIC_CMDLINE option. When this
option is enabled the architecture can call the cmdline_add_builtin()
to add the builtin command line.

This is not exact. powerpc has:

I think it would be better if we can avoid the CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL.
By making the CMDLINEs default to "" at all time, I think we can about that BOOL.

Missing some parameters here, but I think we should avoid those 'strlcpy' and 'strlcat', see later

Don't use names that overide names of existing functions.

Why do you need a space up front in that case ? Why not just copy the source to the destination ?

Could we use memmove(), or implement strmove() and avoid the temporary buffer at all ?

It is misleading to call parameters 'strlcpy' or 'strlcat', it hides that they are overriden.

Let the architecture define the temporary space when using the custom variant instead of just asking
the architecture to provide the name of the section to use. powerpc already have prom_scratch for that.

Ah, so if I understand correctly, the user can set both CONFIG_CMDLINE_PREPEND and
CONFIG_CMDLINE_APPEND but one of them is silently ignored.
Then I think we should just offer the user to set one, name it CONFIG_CMDLINE then ask him to choose
between FORCE, APPEND or PREPEND.

I'd rather avoid all those macros and use static inline functions instead.
For the strlcpy() and strlcat(), use another name, for instance cmdline_strlcpy and cmdline_strlcat.
Then at the begining of the file, define them as strlcpy ad strlcat unless they are already defined
to something else (by the architecture before including cmdline.h).

We don't need the CMDLINE_BOOL, just have CMDLINE always "" by default.

As far as I understand, the generic code will only take CMDLINE_APPEND into account if
CMDLINE_PREPEND doesn't exist, otherwise it will silently ignore it.
Only offer one string: CONFIG_CMDLINE, and make the use choose between APPEND, EXTEND or OVERRIDE

I don't currently have ppc64 to test on, but CONFIG_FROM_BOOTLOADER should likely
stay, but the other two can come from the generic code.

Wouldn't it be annoying if you have to deleted all the characters from two text
boxes vs. just disabling a single option ? What if you leave a space
accidentally , woops.

It's type checking all the parameters at compile time, it doesn't complain about
this that I've seen.

There may not be a space between them, it doesn't cost anything to have one.

I don't really want to make drastic alteration like this, unless there is a
better reason for it. Most of this hasn't change inside Cisco's tree for almost a decade.

I can change the names, it's not a big deal.

How would it use this space exactly ? Is it large enough ? How is it managed?

Nothing should be ignored. Either one set gets you into the function, just one
has to create a variable.

No, this doesn't work for Cisco. We need to functionality of this solution,
nothing less..

The last two in the off case might be able to be converted.

I think it's more usable as explained above.

No, that's not how that works.

Most of your comments are the kind of things this code went thru on it's first
implementation, and were discarded for a reason during usage and testing.
