The memory size is detected by finding a place where it repeats in memory. Currently we are just checking when the function prom_init is seen again, but with this patch it also checks some more bytes. This should fix a problem we saw in OpenWrt, where the detected available memory decreased on some devices when doing a soft reboot.
