ts72xx: rc4 doesn't boot anymore

Hi all,

I really don't understand what's happenning, nothing has changed on my 
side (same board, same bootloader), rc2 was booting OK, rc3 didn't 
boot unless I pass on the command line the config for half of my 
memory (mem=8M at 0x0 mem=8M at 16M mem=8M at 64M mem=8M at 80M). Now with rc4 
it's even worth, the kernel complains about bad configuration page, 
detects 16MB of memory and ignore any mem= command line params (this 
board has 8 nodes of 8MB each).

Below is the trace of the crash, I've added some debug printk, 
especially concerning the atags (attached is my hack of 
arch/arm/kernel/setup.c and another patch i need to get the board 
booting (I know it's bad))

Unless I'm missing something, the rc2 was booting OK, I'm sure.

Any help greatly appreciate.

Regards,
Chris
