Since pmem kernel drivers were enabled as modules, the initrd
size limit is hit. On genericarm64 all kernel modules and some
firmware files get installed to initrd by default which make
the thing large. I'm working on patches to reduce the kernel drivers
installed to initrd and to make the kernel in general more modular
(btrfs 5 Mb etc built into kernel by default). For now just increase
the size limit to unblock genericarm64 builds and testing.
