cmdlineparts.c [PATCH]

This is a (lengthy) patch that transforms cmdlinepart.c
as I have described. I've also added a header to stop gcc from
complaining about use of undeclared functions from physmap.c, but I do
not quite know what to do with it. And I don't really have an idea
about what to do with the 'author' and 'copyright' parts, either,
because I normally avoid putting my (or anybody elses' fwiw) name
anywhere.

I hope to a found (and squashed) all the really stupid bugs ...
