It would be nice to get this kextra handling out of __start_xen(), but
I'm not entirely sure how.

It shouldn't live in multiboot_fill_boot_info() if that's going to be
split for pvh, yet it really ought to live with the other editing of
bi->cmdline.

Something that is very subtle is that the *kextra = '\0' between these
two hunks ends up truncating bi->cmdline.

Perhaps best to leave it alone until inspiration strikes.

One thought is to move all the logic into a function and make it the 
responsibility of fill function(s) to call it, since each entry point 
has its own unique way for the xen command line to be passed in.

v/r,
