Subject: [PATCH] ieee1275: Increase initially allocated heap from 1/4 to 1/3

The patch 'ieee1275: claim more memory' (commit 910676645d) states:

"[...] This leaves us 381MB. 1/4 of 381MB is ~95MB. That should be enough
to verify a 30MB vmlinux and should eave plenty of space to load Linux
and the initrd."

As it turns out the memory limit of ~95MB is insufficient for the FADUMP
use case as described here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2139000#c1

Adjust the current memory limitation by increasing the allocation to
1/3 of 381 MB, so ~127MB.
