This new version gets rid of the limitation that prevented KASAN kernels
to use the newly introduced parameters.
While looking into KASLR, I fell onto commit aacd149b6238 ("arm64: head:
avoid relocating the kernel twice for KASLR"): it allows to use the fdt
functions very early in the boot process with KASAN enabled by simply
compiling a new version of those functions without instrumentation.
I had to change the handling of the command line parsing to make the
code self-contained in kernel/pi/cmd_early.c to avoid calling too many
__pi prefixed functions from outside this file.
I'll use this approach like arm64 to handle the extraction of the random
seedi from the device tree for KASLR.
