Well, the pegasos 1 seems to start with mmu enabled, but with BATs
mapped 1:1. There is not much we can do unless we fix the translate
method, i think. The attached patch tests if the machine is a pegasos 1
(but not 2) and sets the phys to 0x00010000 if this is the case.

Another solution would be to test before doing the translate call, maybe
this would be more elegant ?
