    [POWERPC] Clean up zImage handling of the command line · 3af82a8b
    David Gibson authored
    This cleans up how the zImage code manipulates the kernel
    command line.  Notable improvements from the old handling:
    	- Command line manipulation is consolidated into a new
    prep_cmdline() function, rather than being scattered across start()
    and some helper functions
    	- Less stack space use: we use just a single global command
    line buffer, which can be initialized by an external tool as before,
    we no longer need another command line sized buffer on the stack.
    	- Easier to support platforms whose firmware passes a
    commandline, but not a device tree.  Platform code can now point new
    loader_info fields to the firmware's command line, rather than having
    to do early manipulation of the /chosen bootargs property which may
    then be rewritten again by the core.
