We already have replace the command line merged (it's why my patches

That's different. What you're talking about is the code that supports
sticking a cmdline in a separate section of the zImage and using it.
What I'm talking about is editing the cmdline at runtime (as in what
used to happen in arch/ppc).
Not sure if we need all of these options but that's what I was talking
about.

Yes, but it still requires changing the size or inserting a
property, which is the real requirement we were discussing.
Yes, editing at command line would require an input function.
