That should be possible. It'll require to always move the blob to the
new location (with the new size) - currently we move it only if needed.
And, we would need to figure out what the grow delta should be, reading
it from env variable (with the fallback default) should be flexible
enough. But I would prefer to get back to this feature when new uImage
is in place.
