Hey folks... 

I got a new toy (thanks Swifft), a decTOP. This uses an AMD Geode GX 533
CPU (366MHz), 128MB RAM, 10GB HD and 4 USB 1.1 ports.

The problem is that all netbsd versions just after the kernel is loaded
there's a spontaneous reboot. I tracked it down, starting from the
bootloader until machdep.c:init386().

When mem_cluster_cnt is 2, the system triggers a reboot.

Here's a picture of the memory entries reported by the bootloader code:

So I tried to use add_mem_cluster() for this region with the attached patch
and it works, at least there's no reboot anymore and it detects 107MB RAM
in total.

Can anyone explain why this patch works? and how to fix it properly?
