[PATCH 1/8] CMDLINE: add generic builtin command line

This code allows architectures to use a generic builtin command line.
The state of the builtin command line options across architecture is
diverse. MIPS and X86 once has similar systems, then mips added some
options to allow extending the command line. Powerpc did something
simiar in adding the ability to extend. Even with mips and powerpc
enhancement the needs of Cisco are not met on these platforms.
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 unified implementation offers the same functionality needed by
Cisco on all platform which use it.
