Well, of course.  Different memory types / sizes will require
different initialization.  But this you already have in place.  Now go
the final step and auto-select the configuration instead of having the
user (and manufacturer, and service, etc.) all suffer from the pain of
always needing to know which exact configuration is needed on some
board.

This is wrong then and needs to be fixed.  get_ram_size() should be
used before relocation into RAM.
