Re: [PATCH 2/3] mips:powertv: Make kernel command line size configurable (resend)

David,

We found huge command lines to be awkward.  In our platform support
code, we can pass environment variables from our bootstrap (CFE) to the
kernel.  Would something like this work for you?

I have no objection to making the command line buffer size bigger.

Jon
