In fact, I just realized that this patch works just fine on my board (though
this code has been moved to src/cpu/model_lx, which confused me.

Loading stage image.
Stage: loading fallback/coreboot_ram @ 0x100000 (114688 bytes), entry @
0x100000
Stage: done loading.
Jumping to image.

So, here's the patch. I suppose the RAM may be incorrectly setup initially
(size...), but it is re-setup just after by the northbridge init code, so I
think it's just fine.

Also, who's responsible for updating the wiki ? Since this is a newly
supported board, I think it should appear in v4 support list. I gave the
details in a previous post. I can update it myself, but I'll need an
account, and I don't think it's really worth the trouble, just for one
board.
