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.


Could you please elaborate on the purpose of this series? Is it simply
to align between architectures? Does it solve an actual problem?

1) It removed a lot of code duplication between architecture

2) At Cisco we have issues where our bootloaders having default boot arguments. Some platforms we can't update the boot loader and it's helpful to be able to have boot arguments which are prepended to the bootloader arguments , and some parameters which are appended. These changes allow that.
