The size of the ESP partition created for software RAID has been increased
from 128 MiB to 550 MiB. This change is in line with the recent
`diskimage-builder change
<https://opendev.org/openstack/diskimage-builder/commit/7fd52ba84180b4e749ccf4c9db8c49eafff46ea8>`_
as well as the `guidance from the author of gdisk
<https://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/principles.html>`_.
