While booting the PPC64EL kernel, the command line gets truncated to 512 characters. This is due to a 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.
