because pmon is stupid.  Unless you are have video cards, 256MB
per PCI is overkill.  Don't forget the CSn regions.

You can do better.

Shove everything as high as you can go.  1MB for the Discovery, 64MB
for each PCI, xx MB for each of the CS (including BootCS) should easily
fit in 256MB.  That means you can use DBAT 1 to map those permanently.
Remember to sort so that the largest region(s) are at the lowest address
so that you automagic power-of-2 alignment.
