Interesting. It seems that memory setup from atags is indeed 
	     0x8000 0000 size 0x0800 0000
	     0x8800 0000 size 0x0800 0000

. But hopefully that's just complicated way of saying 
	     0x8000 0000 size 0x1000 0000
	     
.

Anyway, I now see problem with my reasoning: kernel is full of

if (of_have_populated_dt())

tests, so it is impossible to switch to device tree, and still expect
old-style init to work :-(.
