bootloader configuration config.txt

Example 1: (A Pi1 with 512MB Ram will not boot)

[pi1]
total_mem=512

Example 2: (A Pi1 with 512MB Ram will not boot)

[pi1]
total_mem=513

This issues is not reproducible at Pi2 and Pi3!

We can clamp the total_mem size to the size of the physical sdram which should avoid the issue.

Great job! Both issues #716 and #717 are fixed (Pi1 256M and Pi1 512M) and "total_mem" works fine now

Thanks a lot
