For those MMUs that have some form of bolt'd linear mapping (TLB)

mapping.

However, on Book-E 64 parts the initial linear mapping is quite large
(1G) so its quite reasonable that mem= is set smaller than that.

We need to parse the command line for mem= limit and constrain the
amount of memory we map initially by it if need be.
