The built-in kernel commandline (CONFIG_CMDLINE) can be configured in
three different ways:

  1. CMDLINE_FORCE: Use CONFIG_CMDLINE instead of any bootloader args
  2. CMDLINE_EXTEND: Append the bootloader args to CONFIG_CMDLINE
  3. CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER: Only use CONFIG_CMDLINE if there aren't
     any bootloader args.

The early cmdline parsing to detect idreg overrides gets (2) and (3)
slightly wrong: in the case of (2) the bootloader args are parsed first
and in the case of (3) the CMDLINE is always parsed.

Fix these issues by moving the bootargs parsing out into a helper
function and following the same logic as that used by the EFI stub.

It bothers me a bit having command line handling here. It means how
the command line is assembled in 2 places. I guess if we get rid of
ambiguous 'extend' then it's better, but perhaps a better
implementation would be an api get a specific command line parameter.
The main downside would be searching the DT again for each parameter
if we can't store any data in between calls, but there's ways around
that. PowerPC also needs similar functionality in
disabled_on_cmdline().

Anyways, that's all beyond the scope of this.

It's more than 2 places, it's also done in the EFI stub; see efi_pe_entry()
in drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/efi-stub.c. That's why I'm pushing on this,
because at the moment the command-line reported by /proc/cmdline doesn't
match the command-line that was parsed there because they stitch it together
in opposite orders when CMDLINE_EXTEND is used.

Christophe's patches at least aim to put the assembling all in one place,
although we'll have to see whether or not it can be used in the EFI stub
environment.
