[PATCH] m68knommu: create configurable RAM setup
Reworked the way RAM regions are defined. Instead of coding all the variations for each board type we now just configure RAM base and size in the usual Kconfig setup. This much simplifies the code, and makes it a lot more flexible when setting up new boards or board varients.

+config VECTORBASE
+ hex "Address of the base of system vectors"
+ default "0"
+ help
+ Define the address of the the system vectors. Commonly this is
+ put at the start of RAM, but it doesn't have to be. On ColdFire
+ platforms this address is programmed into the VBR register, thus
+ actually setting the address to use.
+
+config KERNELBASE
+ hex "Address of the base of kernel code"
+ default "0x400"
+ help
+ Typically on m68k systems the kernel will not start at the base
+ of RAM, but usually some small offset from it. Define the start
+ address of the kernel here. The most common setup will have the
+ processor vectors at the base of RAM and then the start of the
+ kernel. On some platforms some RAM is reserved for boot loaders
+ and the kernel starts after that. The 0x400 default was based on
+ a system with the RAM based at address 0, and leaving enough room
+ for the theoretical maximum number of 256 vectors.
