Can't the POST code simply touch an unused RAM address? There is IRAM
content that needs to be preserved, so we need to make sure we don't
stomp on that. Examples are:

* BIT (Boot Information Table)
* BCT that was used to boot the system
* Perhaps the whole IRAM is filled with code/data in the LP0
suspend/resume case.
