If we're going to allow cmdline editing in the bootwrapper, we would
need to extend the size of a property.  We've never really talked about
cmdline editing in the powerpc branch but I assume that its a good
thing(tm).  I know I would like to have it so, IMHO, I think we should
add it (and therefore require extending a property).

We already have replace the command line merged (it's why my patches
don't apply).

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.
