Whatever you do, you do need a sane default because even querying the
boot protocol is not reliable as the to-be-loaded kernel's boot protocol
might be manipulated too, before signing (who knows what people do
in the wild).

So having a sane, unconditional fallback COMMAND_LINE_SIZE from the
first kernel is a must, methinks.
