It looks reasonable.  You want to shift by 3 though, not 23,
not 15, so you read from 0x1d0 for writing to the MRS.

It seems the i440 might want the address bits inverted on
the high banks in some configurations, btw; so if it won't
work, you can try 0x1d0 ^ 0xff8 or so.

 From the comments it seems you used the DDR-II spec, not the
SDRAM spec; but the code looks okay.
