When I update kernel with loongson3_defconfig based on the Loongson 3A3000
platform, then using dmesg command to show kernel ring buffer, the initial
kernel messages have disappeared due to the log buffer is too small, it is
better to change the default kernel log buffer size from 16KB to 128KB.

Hi, Tiezhu,

Why you choose 128KB but not 64KB or 256KB? I found 64KB is enough for
our cases. And if you really need more, I think 256KB could be better
because there are many platforms choose 256KB.

Hi Huacai,

Thanks for your reply and suggestion, I will send a v2 patch.

Thanks,

Tiezhu Yang
