That might fix the mac too.. Anton's patch assumed OF ran in real mode
in which case the top bits of the address are ignored, meaning we could
use kernel virtual addresses but that isn't the case with Apple OF which
has MMU enabled and maps memory 1:1. I suppose OpenBIOS has the same
problem ? Or is this a 32-bit issue as well ?
