Hi,

Thanks for your effort, but note that this can't be changed carelessly.  It's
possible we have this limit for backward compatibility.

If newer versions of Linux allow a longer cmdline, our code should check for
that instead.

Also, would be cool if you can check whether loader/i386/linux.c also has
this problem.
