Ok, I can do that.
I'm working on a couple of separate series to clean up cmdline and the
compressed boot code a bit. I was actually planning to get rid of
boot/compressed/cmdline.c entirely, replacing it with
arch/x86/lib/cmdline.c instead: that one's better and is reusable as-is
for the decompressor stub, instead of the current hack to use the
real-mode boot stub's cmdline.c. The real mess in there is all the
includes of .c files from various places.
