Some boards have larger memory banks than 256MiB. This patch increses
maximum bank size for Exynos-based boards to 512MiB.
Well...the meaning of SECTION_SIZE_BITS is a little bit different you
know.

Please refer to following thread.

Well, I agree, but the effect of this patch is that it is possible to have 
first bank (or rather section) up to 512MiB, in case of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM.

Still, we could go the other way and just define more smaller sections 
instead and simply drop this patch. (Assuming that the correspondence of 
sections and memory banks is irrelevant.)
