I noticed the nandbiterr test won't work with this. It needs the following
fixup. The problem is that the core wants to write only user data
without OOB, so we have to make sure the remaining SRAM is filled up
with 0xff.

I'll wait some time for other comments before sending a v4 with this
included.
