the problem is some boards spit out other memory diagnostic
information, such as:

---
   DDR DIMM: data bus width is 64 bit without ECC
   DDRC ECC mode: OFF
   SDRAM on Local Bus is NOT available!
---

I can abbreviate the above to have the entire DRAM line show something
like "DRAM: 64-bit, ECC off, 256MB\n".  Let me know if you have
objections.

afaict, yes.

Thanks for the info.  Some boards have fixed mem, some don't, but in
either case I'll have to add this to my TODOLIST.
