  • Current implementation allows the kernel to receive up to 255 characters from
    the bootloader. While the boot protocol allows greater buffers to be sent.

    In current environment, the command-line is used in order to specify many
    values, including suspend/resume, module arguments, splash, initramfs and
    more.

    255 characters are not enough anymore.

    After edd issue was fixed, and dynammic kernel command-line patch was
    accepted, we can extend the COMMAND_LINE_SIZE without runtime memory
    requirements.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
