At the cost of an #ifdef, this could be added to the memory
reservation code in "lib_ppc/board.c", i. e. somewhere after

 ...
 427          * Reserve memory at end of RAM for (top down in that order):
 428          *  - kernel log buffer
 429          *  - protected RAM
 430          *  - LCD framebuffer
 431          *  - monitor code
 432          *  - board info struct
 433          */
 434         len = (ulong)&_end - CFG_MONITOR_BASE;
 435
 436         addr = CFG_SDRAM_BASE + get_effective_memsize();

Of course you need to make sure that  the  linux  kernel  understands
this changed behaviour / shifted addresses, too.
