[PATCH] i386: Replace i386 open-coded cmdline parsing with

This patch replaces the open-coded early commandline parsing
throughout the i386 boot code with the generic mechanism (already used
by ppc, powerpc, ia64 and s390).  The code was inconsistent with
whether it deletes the option from the cmdline or not, meaning some of
these will get passed through the environment into init.

This transformation is mainly mechanical, but there are some notable
parts:

1) Grammar: s/linux never set's it up/linux never sets it up/

2) Remove hacked-in earlyprintk= option scanning.  When someone
   actually implements CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK, then they can use
   early_param().
[AK: actually it is implemented, but I'm adding the early_param it in the next
x86-64 patch]

3) Move declaration of generic_apic_probe() from setup.c into asm/apic.h

4) Various parameters now moved into their appropriate files (thanks Andi).

5) All parse functions which examine arg need to check for NULL,
   except one where it has subtle humor value.

AK: readded acpi_sci handling which was completely dropped
AK: moved some more variables into acpi/boot.c
