See how you complained that I have CMDLINE_BOOL in my changed, and you think it
shouldn't exist.

Yet here mips has it, and you just deleted it with no feature parity in your
changes for this.

AFAICT, CMDLINE_BOOL equates to a non-empty or empty CONFIG_CMDLINE. You 
seem to need it just because you have CMDLINE_PREPEND and 
CMDLINE_APPEND. If that's not it, what feature is missing? CMDLINE_BOOL 
is not a feature, but an implementation detail.
