Lots of memory on 826x

Yay... It worked....
Had to patch m8260_setup a bit.
In m8260_map_io() I changed
io_block_mapping(addr, addr, 0x10000000, _PAGE_IO);
into
io_block_mapping(addr, addr, 0xffffffff - addr + 1, _PAGE_IO);
So that I could change the IMMR address in my config file only, and the
mappings were still correct.
I could probably submit a proper patch.
