fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support, that
recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
will have to get fixed.

Hi Stefan,
I also have a nit to pick :-) . It's not clear to me whether the clause in the last sentence is meant to be restrictive or non-restrictive. If restrictive, I recommend removing the comma before the word "that". If non-restrictive, I recommend replacing the word "that" with the word "which".
Oops, I forgot to write that, for the non-restrictive clause, there should also be a comma after the word "setup".
Best regards, Larry
