[coreboot] [PATCH] Drop all hardcoded ram_check() calls for now

See patch.

After my last patch from
http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2009-October/053987.html
which makes ram_check() at least partially configurable at build-time
via menuconfig didn't get much love, here's a different one.

It drops all ram_check() calls from all boards for now.

However, I still do believe that it is very useful to have an
easy way in menuconfig to enable such a check. This allows us to tell a
user "Please enable the RAM check in menuconfig and send a boot log"
without having to make/send patches or explain what to add where etc.

I'm fine with making it only visible if CONFIG_EXPERT is set, but IMHO the
option should be there. My last implementation did admittedly
suck though, but this can be implemented in a much nicer way.


Uwe.
