So a few things:
- You are doing this on all power systems, not just pseries which is I
assume what you're testing on - that seems OK to me, but just
checking.
- What is the "initialized by firmware" test? Just that IO & MEM are
enabled?
- You potentially override an existing default, is that a problem? Can
the user set the default? (no AFAICS).
- The x86 code is slightly different, they don't override an existing
default, why do we?
cheers
