[PATCH] Fix the EDD code misparsing the command line

["H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1 bytes --]



[-- Attachment #2: edd-cmdline-fix.path --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3570 bytes --]

The EDD code would scan the command line as a fixed array, without
taking account of either whitespace, null-termination, the old
command-line protocol, late overrides early, or the fact that the
command line may not be reachable from INITSEG.

This should fix those problems, and enable us to use a longer command
line.
