Subject[PATCH] kexec_file: Increase maximum file size to 4G
Date
In some case initrd can be large. For example, it could be a netboot
image loaded by u-root, that is kexec'ing into it.

The maximum size of initrd is arbitrary set to 2G. Also, the limit is
not very obvious because it is hidden behind a generic INT_MAX macro.

Theoretically, we could make it LONG_MAX, but it is safer to keep it
sane, and just increase it to 4G.

Increase the size to 4G, and make it obvious by having a new macro
that specifies the maximum file size supported by kexec_file_load()
syscall: KEXEC_FILE_SIZE_MAX.
