While booting the PPC64EL kernel, the command line gets truncated to 512 
characters. This is due to a hard limit of 512 defined for COMMAND_LINE_SIZE.  
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.
