You have to touch some other code anyway to make this work with a 
particular board, right? In that case, you can as well add a function to 
the board file that explicitly provides a different, known good memory map.

Can you have a weaker overload? Basically I would like to have a board 
provide arch_fixup_fdt() which would override the one in bootm-fdt.c. 
But we can also rename arch_fixup_fdt() in bootm-fdt.c to 
board_fixup_fdt() function, declare it weak and have arch_fixup_fdt() 
call that.
