If you're really worried about memory consumption you can
make the big buffer __initdata and copy it to a newly allocated buffer of the right size.

OK... So I think 1024 bytes should be used... Does it sound OK?

But I still think that the documentation should not specify a fixed size, so that boot loaders will pass the full command line to the kernel.
