Revert "x86/boot: Pull up cmdline preparation and early param parsing"
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit fbe6183 upstream.

This reverts commit 8d48bf8.

It turned out to be a bad idea as it broke supplying mem= cmdline
parameters due to parse_memopt() requiring preparatory work like setting
up the e820 table in e820__memory_setup() in order to be able to exclude
the range specified by mem=.

Pulling that up would've broken Xen PV again, see threads at

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210920120421.29276-1-jgross@suse.com

due to xen_memory_setup() needing the first reservations in
early_reserve_memory() - kernel and initrd - to have happened already.

This could be fixed again by having Xen do those reservations itself...

Long story short, revert this and do a simpler fix in a later patch.
