Make the RAM size in arm_boot_info a target_phys_addr_t so
it can express RAM sizes up to the limit imposed by the
physical address size.

Didn't we conclude in lengthy and emotional discussions that int64_t was
the best compromise to solve the highbank and pseries image loading issues?

What I still dislike about target_phys_addr_t is that "ram_size" is not
an address but a size.

But isn't MAX(size) always defined to be smaller than or equal to MAX(addr)? So target_phys_addr_t is _always_ a type that is big enough to hold the information.

I'm not disputing that. If you do
typedef target_phys_addr_t/* or whatever */ target_phys_size_t;
target_phys_size_t ram_size;
then I'm happy as well, I just dislike writing target_phys_addr_t size.

uint64_t, but yes, you're right. Will change.
