[PATCH] cfa10036: Retrieve the RAM size at runtime

The cfa-10036 comes in two flavours, with either 128MB or 256MB of RAM
on it.

Since it's not stored anywhere, we need to runtime detect it by
introducing the cfa10036_get_ram_size function which is similar to
get_ram_size. As we run from RAM, we can then use _text and __bss_stop
to prevent poking in the barebox memory which is not supported on other
platforms.
