    pmbr: Only load the first 545k rather than error out
    
    It would be nice to have larger boot partitions for ESPs to live in one
    day. It's trivial to carve out 5M 10M or 200M when provisioning, but
    logistical issues may make it hard to do it after the fact. So only warn
    when the partition is > 545k. If we ever grow the boot loader larger
    than that, then it will be responsible for loading the rest anyway.
