A little bit Linux centric ;-)

I'd suggest s/Linux/OS for the first one and s/and Linux refuses/for
example Linux refuses/.

I suppose this is currently safe when put up against arch_fixup_fdt(),
but it might be a bit fragile against future changes?

I'm not sure what else we can do though, directly adjusting
gd->bd->bi_dram[0].size seems iffy.

Perhaps a hook called from arch_fixup_fdt which is passed the arrays
which are about to be passed to fdt_fixup_memory_banks so it can adjust
them?
