Currently s390 supports a fixed maximum command line length of 896 bytes. This isn't enough as some installers are trying to pass all configuration data via kernel command line, and even with zfcp alone it is easy to generate really long command lines. Therefore extend the command line to 4 kbytes. In the parm area where the command line is stored there is no indication of the maximum allowed length, so a new field which contains the maximum length is added. The parm area has always been initialized to zero, so with old kernels this field would read zero. This is important because tools like zipl could read this field. If it contains a number larger than zero zipl knows the maximum length that can be stored in the parm area, otherwise it must assume that it is booting a legacy kernel and only 896 bytes are available. The removing of trailing whitespace in head.S is also removed because code to do this is already present in setup_boot_command_line().
