Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] init/bootconfig: Reorder init parameter from bootconfig and cmdline

Reorder the init parameters from bootconfig and kernel cmdline
so that the kernel cmdline always be the last part of the
parameters as below.

 " -- "[bootconfig init params][cmdline init params]

This change will help us to prevent that bootconfig init params
overwrite the init params which user gives in the command line.
