i havent heard of this function before.  looking through the tree, it seems 
like this is an optional board-specific function that probes external memory 
sizes by reading/writing to it.

on a Blackfin system, this is a pretty big waste.  memory must always be 
mapped starting at address 0 which means once the highest address is 
validated, things can return.  ignoring that, the Blackfin port has no 
relocation support, so the link time addresses are fixed.
