We want to simplify code by usiing the same approach everywhere.  And
this means that we first set up a system that can run C code, and then
use this to insitialize the RAM.  This includes using get_ram_size()
to auto-detect (and verify) the actual RAM size.  And get_ram_size() 
is a C function as well.

The "other boards" are still old-style and should not be used as
examples.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

How many QA engineers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 3:  1  to
screw it in and 2 to say "I told you so" when it doesn't work.
