[ltp] TP 380Z not seeing all of RAM

[linux-thinkpad@www.bm-soft.com]

i don't know if the 380 has the same issue as the 770
but on the 770 the top 1M is not available for use by the operating 
system
so you have to specfiy 159M
if you are saying mem= 159
that is sayiing 159 bytes of memory
you must say 159M to specify megabytes
