True. Attached patch might do this (only moderately tested)

I think the only reason why we can't get rid of RAMBASE <1M completely
is a couple of boards (Via based iirc) that have their own vgabios.c
that breaks with RAMBASE >1M

The other RAMBASE we sometimes use (mostly on AMD boards) is RAMBASE==2M
- what was the rationale for that again?

With those two gone, we could hide RAMBASE somewhere in Kconfig or
eliminate it completely.
