Set and document clear precedence rules for boot argument processing.
Support the same builtin command line format in the 32-bit xen binary as
the 32-bit zImage binary does. Remove dead default_bootargs code.
This patch has been in use by an internal IBM project for some time. It
enables two important things: allowing developers and cluster
administrators the option of overriding the bootargs supplied by
firmware, and the ability to take a single gold master xen binary and
customize its bootargs across a cluster with a simple and well-tested
post-processing tool.
