Evidently on PPC64LE we need about 200MiB more space than a 4GiB volume
can contain, despite the image we're pulling being only about 1.4GB.
It's not clear why the system repo is (presumably) taking up so much
space, but a 5GiB volume should be enough to contain it.

Since a tmpfs only allocates RAM for space that is actually used, it
should be safe to increase the allocation. If this causes us to actually
run out of RAM, we will encounter that problem later (it may, however,
be more difficult to debug).

Hey @zaneb we've tested this with a manual change. Since prow doesn't generate ppc64le images, do we want to mark /verified qe manual test, and verify in a subsequent build? Thank you for the guidance, Paul
