Subject: [PATCH v2] powerpc: Support CMDLINE_EXTEND

Bring powerpc in line with other architectures that support extending or
overriding the bootloader provided command line.

The current behaviour is most like CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER where the
bootloader command line is preferred but the kernel config can provide a
fallback so CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER is the default. CMDLINE_EXTEND can
be used to append the CMDLINE from the kernel config to the one provided
by the bootloader.

While I'm at it does anyone think it's worth getting rid of the default CMDLINE
value if CMDLINE_BOOL and maybe CMDLINE_BOOL? Every defconfig in the kernel
that sets CMDLINE_BOOL=y also sets CMDLINE to something other than
"console=ttyS0,9600 console=tty0 root=/dev/sda2". Removing CMDLINE_BOOL and
unconditionally setting the default value of CMDLINE to "" would clean up the
Kconfig even more.

Changes in v2:
- incorporate ideas from Christope's patch https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1074126/
