Replace the variable size by the maximum kernel command line size (512
bytes), which is an upper limit for all suboptions.

Seems fine as long as COMMAND_LINE_SIZE never grows a lot. Some

If that ever happens, it will be caught by -Wframe-larger-than=1024.

architectures use 1024 or 2048, but m68k currently has 256 (you write
512 here).

Thanks for noticing, will fix!

Thanks, fixed, and applied and queued for v5.1.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
