You're both right. Michael's fix is sufficient for the merge. The only
risk with a larger size is failing to allocate it, but we're talking
only 10s of KB. Historically until the commit causing the conflict,
PPC was just used 2x fdt_totalsize(initial_boot_params). You could
drop 'fdt_size = fdt_totalsize(initial_boot_params) + (2 *
COMMAND_LINE_SIZE);' from kexec_fdt_totalsize_ppc64() as well, but
then the function name is misleading.

Lakshmi can send a follow-up patch to fine tune the size and rename
kexec_fdt_totalsize_ppc64.
