Xen devel - Jan 2007 - [3.0.4 PATCH] fix kernel cmdline compatibility

# HG changeset patch
# User john.levon@sun.com
# Date 1167936545 28800
# Node ID acda3f65d9797126035cc8cae65d8804415c6036
# Parent  97a82d6d6cf4fa55a9c6a14a50a786dbff6134c0
Xen 3.0.3 pre-pended all configuration prior to the user-specified
args in the boot cmdline. Restore this behaviour to fix incompatabilities with
fragile parsers in some domU kernels.
