[PATCH 1/9] hw/hppa/machine: Allow up to 3840 MB total memory

[PATCH 1/9] hw/hppa/machine: Allow up to 3840 MB total memory

[deller]

From: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

The physical hardware allows DIMMs of 4 MB size and above, allowing up
to 3840 MB of memory, but is restricted by setup code to 3 GB.
Increase the limit to allow up to the maximum amount of memory.

Btw. the memory area from 0xf000.0000 to 0xffff.ffff is reserved by
the architecture for firmware and I/O memory and can not be used for
standard memory.

If the value is the same what's the point of setting it here and not once 
above at definition? It is's only the different comment then you could 
have a comment saying "3.75 GB, limited by 32-bit firmware on 64 bit CPU" 
or similar there.

Oh, sorry, I missed to explain it...

qemu already supports the 64-bit CPU (hppa64), but using more than
3.75 GB of RAM is limited because the 32-bit firmware (which is
currently shipped) only supports up to max. 4GB.
For more than 4GB, a 64-bit SeaBIOS-hppa firmware is needed.
The current SeaBIOS-hppa git tree already contains the code
to build the firmware with 64-bit support. It already boots up,
but I still need some more bug-fixing until it can be used.

So, keeping two different lines here helps to more easily test
the 64-bit firmware and the final commit to allow more than 4GB
will become a one-liner with an upcoming patch.

Need to use RAM_ADDR_FMT instead of "%ld" here.
Will fix in v2.
