The minimum RMO size field in ibm,client-architecture is currently
ignored, but a future firmware version will rectify that. Since we
always get at least 128MB of RMO right now, asking for 64MB is
likely to result in boot failures.
We should bump it to at least 128MB, but considering all the boot
issues we have on 128MB RMO boxes and all new machines have virtual
RMO, we may as well set our minimum to 256MB.
