In principle I agree with this. However those are guidelines and it
stated that the actual details may very per motherboard.
So for merging I would request we have a generic function that
performs this logic, and have the generic call in raminit.c
make a motherboard specific call. By default that motherboard
specific call would simply call the default generic method,
but a motherboard that has better memory stability could override
this.
