[PATCH] bootconfig: Support embedding a bootconfig file in kernel

[Masami Hiramatsu]

This allows kernel developer to embed a default bootconfig file in
the kernel instead of embedding it in the initrd. This will be good
for who are using the kernel without initrd, or who needs a default
bootconfigs.
This needs 2 options: CONFIG_EMBED_BOOT_CONFIG=y and set the file
name to CONFIG_EMBED_BOOT_CONFIG_FILE.
Note that you still need 'bootconfig' command line option to load the
embedded bootconfig. And if you boot with the initrd which has another
bootconfig, the kernel will use the bootconfig in the initrd, instead
of embedding one.
