One (other) obstacle you'll face in using another DDR controller in Minimig
is that the controller needs to arbitrate between 68K and Z80 accesses - so
you'll notice there's two bus interfaces on the Minimig controller.

The Minimig does the arbitration within the controller itself, but I guess
there's no reason you couldn't do it outside the controller and leave it
unchanged - much like the arbiters in Altera's SOPC system. Some time ago I
wrote a simple arbiter for wishbone based on the example in the old wishbone
documentation...
