The distro config probably is the right place for this.  After all, the
number of inodes you need depends primarily on the number of files that
you're going to ship in the rootfs, and that in turn is primarily
influenced by the DISTRO's policies rather than by any inherent aspect
of the MACHINE.

The other uses of EXTRA_IMAGECMD that I guess you're thinking of are
mostly to do with jffs2 parameters, which are rather different in that
they're determined by the specifics of the hardware in use and hence do
go with the MACHINE rather than the DISTRO.
