Hmm. We deliberately setup a _really_ early shadow on arm64 for this, can
you not do something similar? Failing that, I think it would be better to
offer the option for an arch to implement cmdline_*, but have then point to
the normal library routines by default.

If CONFIG_CMDLINE is empty, I don't think you can select
CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND (but even if you could, I don't think it matters).
