[PATCH 3/3] ipq40xx: pakedge_wr-1: workaround for kernel bigger than 4MiB

From: Tomasz Maciej Nowak <tmn505 at gmail.com>

Alter command boot sequence in U-Boot on first boot after upgrade to
workaround the kernel size limitation. The kernel size read from flash
will be 8MiB, which should suffice for forseable future. As precaution a
warning interupting upgrade is emited, explaining what to do.
