That's different.  What you're talking about is the code that supports
sticking a cmdline in a separate section of the zImage and using it.
What I'm talking about is editing the cmdline at runtime (as in what
used to happen in arch/ppc).

Not sure if we need all of these options but that's what I was talking
about.
