Re: [PATCH] x86 built-in command line

a. Please make the patch available for x86-64 as well as x86.  The two
are coupled enough that they need to agree.

b. This patch will override a user-provided command line if one
exists.  This is the wrong behaviour; instead, the builtin command
line should only apply if no user-specified command line is present.

I would say a user supplied cmd line should be appended to the
built-in cmd line.

That's another option; going with the "later wins" rule. However, there is a problem with this, and that is that the total length can end up being very long.
