Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Support CMDLINE_EXTEND

Device tree aware platforms can make use of CMDLINE_EXTEND to extend the
kernel command line provided by the bootloader. This is particularly
useful to set parameters for built-in modules that would otherwise be
done at module insertion. Add support for this in the powerpc
architecture.
