The boot ROMs of the socfpga platform limit the size of the

According to this document, Cyclone V and Arria V allow 60KB
maximum while Arria 10 allows 200KB. In both cases, this is
less than CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE.
Do they really copy less ?
Well, their own tool errors out if the binary is larger than this. And
the documentation says the boot ROM needs some RAM, at least when
copying from QSPI. And since the bootcounter stored at the end of SRAM
sometimes survives a cold boot on one of my boards, they certainly don't
always copy 64KB.
In the end, I don't know how 'hard' that restriction is, but if they say
so in the documentation, I think it's better to error out than to have a
system that does not start any more...
