hw: better i440 emulation
updated version of an old patch
http://xenon.stanford.edu/~eswierk/misc/qemu-linuxbios/qemu-piix-ram-size.patch
that together with

[email protected]/msg02390.html
(which is already in coreboot trunk) allows coreboot to autodetect the amount of RAM within qemu/kvm from a register in i440 northbridge.
The message on the old patch states:
Unfortunately the current version of qemu does not set these
registers, but I have patched qemu so that it emulates the i440 more
faithfully in this regard.
