Most SDRAM chip specs have enough stuff to figure this out.  I don't
have an address handy, but if you look at a chip and go to the
manufacturer's web site, ...

Also, LiMon has some code to do some of the SDRAM stuff.  It is written
in C, so it won't work on many CPUs, and it doesn't (yet) handle timing;
just geometry.  (C works on the 8260 before SDRAM is available because
you can use the internal RAM as a stack.)
