sh: select memchunk size using kernel cmdline
Allow user to pass parameters on kernel command line to override default size for physically contiguous memory buffers. The default VPU buffer size is too small for VGA harware encoding, but instead of just bumping up the number we allow the user to override the default size using the command line. Supports SuperH Mobile hardware blocks such as VEU, VPU and CEU. Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
