For now, there isn't a way to do it with CONFIG_CMDLINE, so I think you can
either:

  * Revert my patch for your kernels
  * Pass the arguments via QEMU's -append option
  * Take a look at one of the series which should hopefully add this
    functionality back (but with well-defined semantics) [1] [2]

Sorry for the nuisance; I did try to fix this [3] but it's a bit of a
mess.
