Change RMA size from 512 MB to 768 MB which will result in more RMA at boot time for PowerPC. When PowerPC LPAR use/uses vTPM, Secure Boot or FADump, the 512 MB RMA memory is not sufficient for booting. With this 512 MB RMA, GRUB2 run out of memory and unable to load the necessary. Sometimes even usage of CDROM which requires more memory for installation along with the options mentioned above troubles the boot memory and result in boot failures. Increasing the RMA size will resolves multiple out of memory issues observed in PowerPC. Failure details: 1.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
