[PATCH 0/2] mvebu: make more RAM available from malloc

Hello,

I have a board here that needs more than the currently available malloc
space.  The size of the malloc space depends on memory size. On mvebu
there is an initial assumption of 64 MiB RAM that is later corrected.
When the malloc memory is set aside (half of the available RAM) the
number isn't corrected yet.

So this patch set makes it necessary to let the board define the
available amount of RAM. As before just saying 64 MiB works fine. And if
a board wants more malloc space, it can specify the actual size.

The first patch the initial memory size is just pushed to the board
files with no change in functionality. The second patch changes a board
to the really available RAM.
