While that's true, I believe there's currently no runtime API available
to retrieve the memory split information. When such an API is available,
we can remove the hard-coded limit and use the API instead.
Such an API has been requested; see:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/47

The hard-coding is in a location specific to the Raspberry-Pi model B.
So, it doesn't impose any restrictions on any other boards using the
same SoC. While the BCM2835 SoC may allow more memory, the RPi B
specifically only supports exactly 256MB.
