On the DINK32 12.2 side it blindly sets some parts up for 64mb total
regardless of the ammount of memory.  I think there's other things as
well, but Mark Greer would know better..

For DINK32 12.3 the first problem I've hit is that I can't seem to
convince it to setup the SPD bits on the memory for the 64mb total that seems
to be on the board, only 128mb.  Using DINK32 12.2 and 12.3 to try and
get all of that done 'correctly' still had things blowing up when I
tried to use 64mb.   But I've been busy tracking down other issues at
the moment..

On !CONFIG_ALL_PPC, we have:
#define have_of 0
In include/asm-ppc/processor.h, or so.  And the compiler happily
optimizes things in/out with this.
