Hello

I have a question about this patch.

In x86 code, COMMAND_LINE_SIZE is defined as below:

arch/x86/include/asm/setup.h

#define COMMAND_LINE_SIZE 2048

So even the patch lengthens the commandline length here, when reboot into
the new kernel, the commandline will still be stripped to 2048? right?

So the patch seems unnecessary or unusable. Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks
Zhang
