-config CMDLINE_BOOL
-	bool "Built-in kernel command line"
-	help
-	  Allow for specifying boot arguments to the kernel at
-	  build time.  On some systems (e.g. embedded ones), it is
-	  necessary or convenient to provide some or all of the
-	  kernel boot arguments with the kernel itself (that is,
-	  to not rely on the boot loader to provide them.)
-
-	  To compile command line arguments into the kernel,
-	  set this option to 'Y', then fill in the
-	  boot arguments in CONFIG_CMDLINE.
-
-	  Systems with fully functional boot loaders (i.e. non-embedded)
-	  should leave this option set to 'N'.
-
-config CMDLINE
-	string "Built-in kernel command string"
-	depends on CMDLINE_BOOL
-	default ""
-	help
-	  Enter arguments here that should be compiled into the kernel
-	  image and used at boot time.  If the boot loader provides a
-	  command line at boot time, it is appended to this string to
-	  form the full kernel command line, when the system boots.
-
-	  However, you can use the CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE option to
-	  change this behavior.
-
-	  In most cases, the command line (whether built-in or provided
-	  by the boot loader) should specify the device for the root
-	  file system.
-
-config CMDLINE_OVERRIDE
-	bool "Built-in command line overrides boot loader arguments"
-	depends on CMDLINE_BOOL && CMDLINE != ""
-	help
-	  Set this option to 'Y' to have the kernel ignore the boot loader
-	  command line, and use ONLY the built-in command line.
-
-	  This is used to work around broken boot loaders.  This should
-	  be set to 'N' under normal conditions.
