Hi Daniel,

These all look like useful cleanups. You don't really have to split them
up into so small units, but it doesn't hurt if you do. Patch 5 seems to
actually fix a bug, but probably a harmless one.

It's not clear where you're headed though, I hope that becomes more obvious
in the next patches. The tricky bit that will have to be done is to turn
all the #ifdef checks into runtime here. You have moved the #include for the
memory controller into a new header, but that is not actually progress
on this larger problem. It would be nice to move the
sdram_selfrefresh_enable/disable functions into a .c file that uses
cpu_is_at91...() to do runtime detection, but AFAICT that won't work
because you have to guarantee that all the code between these is
in the cache, right?
