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.]

Add default config file for Lemote Loongson 2F family machines. The
resulting kernel image can be shared between Fuloong 2F, Yeeloong 2F and
other Lemote Loongson 2F family machines.
If you are using an old PMON, and not using a 2f box, please add a new
command line argument in the boot.cfg.
For example, add this argument for 8.9inches notebook:
machtype=lemote-yeeloong-2f-8.9inches
or
machtype=8.9
More information from arch/mips/loongson/common/machtype.c.
