When malta is coupled with MIPS64 cpu which have 64bit
address space, it is possible to have more than 2G RAM.
So we removed ram_size check and overwrite memory
layout for these targets.

v1: Do not overwrite cmdline when we don't have highmem.

This is annoying, because the CoreLV/CoreFPGA core cards only have 4
DIMM slots for PC-100 SDRAM, and the Memory Controller of the GT–64120A
north bridge accept at most 256 MiB per SCS for address decoding, so we
have a maximum of 1 GiB on 32-bit boards.
In 64-bit emulation we use the a 20Kc core, provided by the Core20K core
card which doesn't use the GT–64120A but the Bonito64. So the model is
incorrect... The Bonito64 indeed allow more memory.
Maybe it is time to consider that for 64-bit targets, since we are not
modelling a Malta core board, we can name it the official 'virt' machine...
