I agree, Hatari allows several ways to add more RAM than what real HW 
can do (for example on STF you can add much more RAM).
Some RAM size are not compatible with plain STF (ie max 4 MB), but some 
RAM size are possible when adding external board/chips, so all in all, I 
think we can let the user add as many RAM as he likes, as long as it 
doesn't collide with reserved region.

At least, we could add some warnings for such case to let the user know 
that the settings are not "compliant", but if so let's do it after 2.6 
is released, because doing a full list of all possible RAM size 
configurations for all machines can require quite some work and research.
