CD creation fails with "disk full", because of rounding errors.
The minimum size of data-allocation is a 'cluster', which is a
power-of-two multiple of sectors.
mkfs.msdos chooses minimum FAT and cluster size for image: FAT12<16G
mkfs.msdos uses block-count where a block is 1024 B, but must be rounded
up to track_size with 32 sectors.
Round up each file to clusters before summing.
A sub-directory entry needs 1 cluster minimum.
Previous changes enabled gzip compressed Linux kernels, but not 100%
sure that it works on all systems. Disable this compression for now.
Switch hppa to use xorriso by default instead of mkisofs. Xorriso
supports kernel command lines to be up to 1023 bytes, better than
mkisofs. mkisofs only supports the older palo version 4 header format
which can hold only 127 characters which might be too small.
Currently the ins loader (mostly HMC loading into an LPAR) only
supports kernels up to 8 MiB. The jessie kernel has 11 MiB, which
does not fit and hence gets its tail overwritten by the initrd
(root.bin) loaded at this address. This change bumps the load
address to 16 MiB, which should allow for some more growth of
the kernel.

Object code only modules date back to 2.2 and 2.4 kernel times, when
IBM did not release the source to certain kernel modules. Since many
years everything needed to boot and run the machine is actually
open source. It also got broken due to the kernel growing larger and
adding the oco.bin would overwrite parts of the kernel.
It's safe to say that nobody is actually using this.
Replace "alpha" with "a" and "beta" with "b". We've only got 32
characters to use here, so we need to shorten this. This way we can
specify DEBVERSION as a useful long string like "stretch-DI-alpha1" as
a version to appear in file/directory names, but without overflowing
at the VOLID level. May need more tweaks later here, but for now this
seems to do what we need.
FTAOD: this won't change "alpha" in the architecture name, as that is
added later.
Previously, the code would only check sizes for packages explicitly
listed but packages brought in due to dependency resolution would not
be checked. Now fixed.
Call cpp directly on our input task file instead of using it in a
pipeline. Not clear why this was ever done, and it obscures errors
like ENOENT (if the specified task file is missing).
When we've got multiple copies of the same initramfs hard-linked
together, gzip gets unhappy when we start modifying things
later. Explicitly break the links to fix that.
Provide hashes for uncompressed Translation-* files, and remove the
uncompressed versions from the output disc. Closes: #767253. Initial
patch from Michael Vogt - thanks!
