Personally I do not like that the memory test runs taking automatically
the input parameters - even if the test must run automatically, I think
it is better to put the parameters inside a script else to compile them
with U-Boot.

But if we want to change them, why to put the start address at the
middle of RAM ? The mx35pdk can have two banks of RAM, and the second
one will still not tested. What I mean is that it is quite arbitrary
where to set CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START and CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END, and
with the possibility on some boards to have different RAM configurations
this setup should be not decided at compile time.

And setting the end of test at the end of RAM (but this can open a
debate: really the RAM size is computed at runtime with get_ram_size())
will overwrite U-Boot.
