armel/marvell kernel size limit

Roger,

Since we moved from Linux 5.0 to 5.2 the kernel size has increased
again and has broken the 2 MiB limit for armel/marvell:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=linux&arch=armel&ver=5.2.6-1&stamp=1565084795&raw=0

As there is an important security update in 5.2.7 that I want to get
into unstable and testing, for the next upload I have increased the
size limit to the next critical value and noted in the changelog that
this won't work on the models known to have a 2 MiB limit.

If you still think it's worth supporting those, please have a look at
the config changes in 5.2 when you have time, to see what can be
changed to reduce the size without losing important functionality.

Ben.
