[Trusty][PATCH 0/1] powerpc: Increase COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to 2048 from 512.

[Joseph Salisbury]

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1306677

== Trusty Justification ==

Booting the PPC64EL kernel the command line get truncated at 512 characters. This is due to a hard limit of 512 defined for COMMAND_LINE_SIZE.  The MaaS project, needs to be able to provide a command line longer than 512 characters, as iscsi targets and cloud-init parameters are passed through the kernel command line.  The limit was increased to 2048, which is the current value for x86.

This patch has not been sent upstream as of yet, but it can be.
