The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar

Additional changes to Youichi Yuasa's command line simplication code
The PowerTV platform uses a non-standard way to get the kernel command
line--we insert a built-in command line into arcs_cmdline and to
get additional command line information from the bootloader via a
pointer in the a1 register. It is necessary to insert a space between
to the two strings or the last argument from arcs_cmdline and the first
argument from the bootloader may be inadvertantly combined.It is also necessary to set CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL to "y" and to set the
default command line to an empty string to get the simplified code to
work properly in the PowerTV environment.Signed-off-by: David VomLehn

Currently, MIPS kernels silently overwrite kernel command-line parameters
hardcoded in CONFIG_CMDLINE by the ones received from firmware. Therefore,
using firmware remains the only reliable method to transfer the
command-line parameters, which is not always desirable or convenient, and
the CONFIG_CMDLINE option is thereby effectively rendered useless.This patch fixes the problem described above and introduces a more flexible
scheme of handling the kernel command line, in a manner identical to what is
currently used for x86. The default behavior, i.e. when CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL
is not defined, retains the existing semantics, and firmware command-line
arguments override the hardcoded ones.[Ralf: I fixed up all the defconfig files so the stay unaffected by this
change.]Signed-off-by: Dmitri Vorobiev

Add the Cisco Powertv cable settop box to the MIPS tree. This platform is
based on a MIPS 24Kc processor with various devices integrated on the same
ASIC. There are multiple models of this box, with differing configuration
but the same kernel runs across the product line.Signed-off-by: David VomLehn
