After further review, it appears ppc does not actually use the define in the ppc headers but uses the common generic default(include/uapi/asm-generic/setup.h). COMMAND_LINE_SIZE should probably become a kernel config option. Do folks agree that is the correct thing to do? If so, I can re-work the patch.
