There were series of patches [1] for 4.3.0-rc3, that allowed architectures to use a generic builtin command line. I have rebased these patches on kernel 4.19.0-rc4. Things, modified in comparison with original patches: * There was some bug for mips, in the case when CONFIG_CMDLINE_PREPEND and CONFIG_CMDLINE_APPEND are empty and CMDLINE_OVERRIDE is not set, command line from bootloader was ignored, so I fixed it, modifying patch "add generic builtin command line". * Implemented new patch to resolve conflict with new kernel, which modify EFI stub code. Unfortunately, I don't have capability to test this modification on real arm board with EFI. * Removed new realisation of mips builtin command line, which was created after 4.3.0-rc3. * Kernel 4.3.0-rc3 with original patches could not be compiled for powerpc due to prom_init.c checking by prom_init_check.sh. So I added strlcat (which is used by cmdline_add_builtin macro) to prom_init_check.sh whitelist. Patches have been tested in QEMU for x86, arm (little-endian), arm64 (little-endian), mips (little-endian, 32-bit) and powerpc (big-endian, 64-bit), everything works perfectly. Also it was tested on linux-next (next-20180924 tag) for all listed above architectures.
