not sure why you don't just squash it into 1/3 and never bother defining it ?
I was attempting to keep changes isolated as much as possible, but everyone seems to like to do this differently and I'm still getting a feel for what you guys prefer. It sounds like Wolfgang would actually prefer all three of these squashed into a single patch, which I'll do if there's a v4.
...I'm still awaiting Wolfgang's suggestion for which of the following he'd like me to submit instead of this series:
1. A stripped down version of the change to use malloc with the caveat that it's up to the user not to overrun any hardcoded limits in the kernel (I'm pretty sure that the kernel already has code to truncate--at least on most platforms).
2. A version of the change to add a platform-specific COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to u-boot (keeping in sync with the kernel) with a fix in u-boot to never buffer overrun (changing behavior to truncate).
3. Something else (?)
Thanks!
