This code provides architectures with a way to build command line
based on what is built in the kernel and what is handed over by the
bootloader, based on selected compile-time options.

Why are these needed instead of using strlen and strlcat directly?

CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE implies CONFIG_CMDLINE, and even if it didn't,
CONFIG_CMDLINE is at worst an empty string. Can you drop the #ifdef?

Likewise, but also I'm not sure why the sizeof() is required.
