The whole idea of this change is to find an address with backed ram,
because of the current implementation (or limitation) of
board_get_usable_ram_top(), the lowest range is returned as a solution.
If the Linaro work can remove that limitation, likely we are both fine.
The next question is when will this Linaro work be upstreamed. I'm
changing the memory layout for PCIe passthrough on QEMU, it's better to
see u-boot is ready before QEMU change, or the system is not able to
boot up.
