I have the same board with the same kernel. For some reason the card
reports 32mb with lspci. I read once that this might have to do with
having the frame buffer console enabled (seems doubtful). In any case,
the card only has a 16mb frame buffer ; enabling a 16mb write combining
range starting at the prefetchable buffer start address is sufficient,
enabling 32mb will yield no improvement. And enabling write-combining on
the non-prefetchable range will have disastrous results.
