I found two distinct power4 bugs. I posted a patch for one yesterday,
under the subject heading 

  [PATCH] Urgent: powerpc 2.6.20-rc4 dma broken on non-LPAR pseries

This affects only recent mainline kernels; it would not affect
older or distro kernels.   

The other patch is attached below.  After some more testing,
I'll submit to mainline.

Subject: [PATCH] pSeries: EEH improperly enabled for some Power4 systems

It appears that EEH is improperly enabled for some Power4 systems.
On these systems, the ibm,set-eeh-option returns a value of success
even when EEH is not supported on the given node. Thus, an explicit
check for support is required.
