Sheepish grin: I did more checking, and the current mainline actually has
this set to 1 GB.
The .dts I'm using dates back to 2.6.25. I had started modifying it for some
custom peripherals we have hacked onto a Sequoia, and I missed the changes
that were made between .25 and .28.
If you think 1 GB is a suitable default, then no further changes are needed.
If you think it should be bigger than 1 GB, then I could submit a patch.
