I gave this some more thought. Pretty much all boards claim the wrong size memory. I am in doubt if I should change this. One one hand, the user could be confused by the fact that the size of flash is reported incorrectly and on the other hand, reporting the right size is misleading.

I favor not lying to the user about how much FLASH is usable and will be changed all the board entries claiming incorrect sizes until we can enable large memory model with the new compiler.

e.g. MSP430F5529 is also incorrect and should only claim 48127 bytes (0xFFFF - 0x4400) of usable flash.
