The fri2 has 1Gb of ram, hence the kernel sets 128Mb for the
allocation of vmalloc memory. The EMGD driver needs at least 256Mb of
vmalloc memory to work correctly, according to the EMGD documentation

This change passes the vmalloc allocation size to the kernel via the
vmalloc=256MB boot parameter.

Adjusting the kernel's vmalloc allocation size fixes the kernel errors.

This fixes bug:
[Yocto #3810]
