Not at the moment no. But last I checked none of our board dts files
have separate memory nodes. We only have them in the dtsi, with the
largest supported ram size as its value. Also the bootloader
(u-boot that is) can pass the memory size via atags I think.

At least I'm only getting 512MB RAM on my Optimus, due to u-boot
incorrectly assuming I only have as much. But that's another problem. :(

Would this be a problem when using Android fastboot from the stock
u-boot?
