+ A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
+ receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
+ This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
+ respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
+ AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
+ to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
+ DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
+ least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
+ that one of the retries will be successful but note that
+ the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
+ this delay.

+ If CFG_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
+ this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
+ (end) of ram and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
+ fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
+ the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
+ This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
+ board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
+ recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
+ will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
+
+ This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
+ CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
+ be touched.

+ WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
+ the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
+ then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
+ non page size aligned address and this could cause major
+ problems.
