One user has expressed the need to both append and prepend some
built-in parameters to the command line provided by the bootloader.

Allthough it is a corner case, it is easy to implement so let's do it.

When the user chooses to prepend the bootloader provided command line
with the built-in command line, he is offered the possibility to enter
an additionnal built-in command line to be appended after the
bootloader provided command line.

It is a complementary feature which has no impact on the already
existing ones and/or the existing defconfig.

Sending this out as an RFC, applies on top of the series
("Implement GENERIC_CMDLINE"). I will add it to the series next spin
unless someone is against it.
Well, it works, but you are working around the existing kconfig and
the result is not great. You'd never design it this way.
