ARM CPUs can architecturally (speculatively) prefetch completely arbitrary normal memory locations, as defined by the current translation tables. The current MMU configuration for 64-bit Tegras maps an extremely large range of addresses as DRAM, well beyond the actual physical maximum DRAM window, even though U-Boot only needs access to the first 2GB of DRAM; the Tegra port of U-Boot deliberately limits itself to 2GB of RAM since some HW modules on at least some 64-bit Tegra SoCs can only access a 32-bit physical address space. This change reduces the amount of RAM mapped via the MMU to disallow the CPU from ever speculatively accessing RAM that U-Boot will definitely not access. This avoids the possibility of the HW raising SError due to accesses to always-invalid physical addresses.
