If this fails to boot etc because the command line is still truncated, can we get the full dmesg output so we can see how the kernel sees the command line etc.

This looks to be a hard limit defined in arch/powerpc/boot/opts.h. The MaaS project, needs to be able to provide a command line longer than 512 characters, as iscsi targets and cloud-init parameters are passed through the kernel command line.
