[PATCH] making the printk buffer bigger

From: Martin J. Bligh (Martin.Bligh@us.ibm.com)

For larger machines, 16K isn't big enough to hold all the boot
messages - which means some of the earlier boot messages don't
make it to the log files.

Could you add this tiny patch to fix it?

Thanks,

Martin.
