The legacy grub only copies 0xff chars of cmdline, which means that
longer lines used with nfsroot and static network settings may get
truncated.
The code where this happens is in stage2/boot.c:
while (dest < linux_data_tmp_addr + LINUX_CL_END_OFFSET && *src)
*(dest++) = *(src++);
Bump everything up by 0x100 to give us 512 chars, or double what it
used to be. Current x86 kernels support up to 2048 chars, but this
will cover 99% of currently failing use cases.
