Subject[PATCH 2/3] linux: Add macros that define and declare a core_param variable
Date
This patch introduces two macros for kernel command line arguments
subsequently defined as core parameters:
* DECLARE_CORE_PARAM - declares an extern variable in case CMDLINE_PARSE is
set. In the other case it will make the variable a static constant asigned
with a default value to enable constant folding;
* DEFINE_CORE_PARAM - defines a core_param variable if CMDLINE_PARSE is
set. In the other case it leaves the definition to be handled by
DECLARE_CORE_PARAM macro.

Introducing a new header file for the declaration of kernel parameters
seemed to be the best option, because it solves the circular includes
problem. Any other proposal that would be fit for this case is welcomed.
