It actually rather trivial:

    MCUCR = _BV (SRE);          /* Enable External SRAM/XMEM */

The only gotcha is that you need to set it up early on in the startup
procedure.

One example would be wanting to put the stack in xmem (although is
suboptimal performance wise). You would need to enable xmem before setting
up the stack pointer (SP).

Any other examples?

I'll write something up for this later today.
