Perhaps should have done that when I started, but supplier assured me that
the they just retired the boards with out any issues.
Memtest86 found the faulty DIMM in 30 secs...

Not sure if we could/want educate vm_mem_init() to actually detect this.
It is still in the part where everthing is still running on the first CPU.
Making things a bit easier to understand what is going on.

Lets see if the box will run on 3 DIMMs for the rime being.
Then figure out with DMIdecode what we need expand again.
