This is technically changing the ABI - I think we don't need to enforce this -
keep ignoring this

Not needed per above.

Don't drop this comment, specially the last line. If was tempted to move the cmd
line processing before but this saved me since we rely on setup_machine_fdt()
being called aprioiri.
