This version changes absolutely nothing if CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL is not set (the default). Also, no space is appended even when CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL is set, but the builtin string is empty. This is less sloppy all the way around, IMHO. Note that I use the same option names as on other arches for this feature.
