[c-nsp] memory-size iomem (7200 series)

That clearly will work. The drawback being if the flash card
dies you have no fallback way to tftboot an image to the box.

But if the flash card dies you are gonna have to have another
card anyway.

There should be a boot image on CCO that will fix in the 4M
flash for NPE's that are still being supported. I'm looking in to that.
