From: Guo Ren <guoren at linux.alibaba.com>
The firmware of riscv (such as opensbi) occupy 2MB(64bit) /
4MB(32bit) in Linux. It's very wasteful to small memory footprint
soc chip such as Allwinner D1s/F133. The kernel parameter gives a
chance to users to set the proper size of the firmware and get
more than 1.5MB of memory.
