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.
