note that we're in initramfs here, means busybox' tftp implementation
applies and not whatever implementation of a tftp client you've
installed providing the tftp manpage.
anyway, RFC 2348 says the same about blocksize max value, the busybox'
tftp code/documentation doesn't show any further information on it, and
from a quick skimming throuhg the code i could not see any problems to
expect when using that max value. therefore, i've set it in git to 65464
as you suggested, thanks.
