[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 1/7] devicetree: Add 8k instead of double dtb size when reserving extra memory

[Grant Likely]

If a small 'seed' dtb file is loaded into qemu and then heavily modified
(say for runtime population of all the device nodes), then 2x the dtb
size turns out not to be very much.

This patch changes the device tree loading code to add a fixed 8k of
additional space to the dtb buffer.
