As per observation in practice, initrd->cmdline_pa is not normally zero.
Hence so far we always appended at least one byte. That alone may
already render insufficient the "allocation" made by find_memory().
Things would be worse when there's actually a (perhaps long) command
line.

Skip setup when the command line is empty. Amend the "allocation" size
by padding and actual size of module command line.

Fixes: 0ecb8eb09f9f ("x86/pvh: pass module command line to dom0")

This piece of logic was already bad, but this is rather worse.

One patch I made while doing the boot module work is:

which I think I ought to submit as a prerequisite to this, after which
your logic squashed on the RHS now becomes an expansion of the `if (
initrd )`.

Thoughts?

Yes please, I was going to ask Jan to break that chain of ?: operators
as it's impossible to read.

Thanks, Roger.

Yes please.

Another thing I was considering to put in a local variable is the
repeated "elf_64bit(&elf) ? 8 : 4". If that sounds okay, I can make that
a(nother) pre-patch to mine.

Yeah, I was thinking the same.  There's a related expression in
elf_round_up(), so it might be worth having a macro in
include/xen/libelf.h for elf_ptr_size() or so.
