It would be beneficial to have a command line longer than 512 characters, as iscsi targets and cloud-init parameters are passed through the kernel command line.

After further review, it appears ppc does not actually use the define in
the ppc headers but uses the common generic
default(include/uapi/asm-generic/setup.h). COMMAND_LINE_SIZE should
probably become a kernel config option. Do folks agree that is the
correct thing to do? If so, I can re-work the patch.

Thanks,

Joe
