x86 setup: early cmdline parser handle boolean options
This patch extends the early commandline parser to support boolean options. The current version in mainline only supports parsing "option=arg" value pairs. With this it should be easy making other messages like "Uncompressing kernel" honour the "quiet" parameter, too. Signed-off-by: Roland Kletzing <devzero@web.de> Signed-off-by: H.
