Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ieee1275: Further increase initially allocated heap from
 1/3 to 1/2

The memory increase to 1/3 of 391MB (~127MB) was still insufficient
to boot the kernel and initrd of the SuSE distribution:

initrd        2023-Jan-18 04:27    114.9M
linux         2023-Jan-17 05:23     45.9M

Therefore, further increase the initially allocated heap to 1/2
of 391MB to ~191MB, which now allows to boot the system from an
ISO.
