Guess it's true. I don't know much about Malta boards, but it seems that in
the time the eCos port was done, there must have been some reason for not
implementing a RAM target.
Am I wrong?

Initially the Malta board port was for RedBoot only. So that comment
is probably a hang over from that. The Malta eCos port was never
official -- no customer ever paid for it -- so it was never fully
tested and was only done in spare moments. So there may be lurking
problems in it.
