Isn't that what the comment already says? "region mapped by DBAT0" == "map all the RAM"?

I'm pretty sure that U-Boot will machine check during relocation. That's what the comment says. I haven't tried it though. I could probably set up bullwinkle later this week with 1.5GB and try it.

I used a spreadsheet to help me figure out the algorithm, so I wouldn't say that << 2 is more sensical, but I don't really care either way. I don't see how it improves the readability, though.
