 This macro is exported as a part of the user API so it must not depend on 
Kconfig.  Also changing it (rather than say adding COMMAND_LINE_SIZE_V2 or 
switching to an entirely new data object that has its dimension set in a 
different way) requires careful evaluation as external binaries have and 
will have the value it expands to compiled in, so it's a part of the ABI 
too.
