Well, what are you trying to do exactly? The drivers/char/nvram.c
driver should be able be made to work on a 'pc' style nvram with a
little work. NVRAM support is currently funky because powermacs cannot
use the drivers/char/nvram.c driver, but did use CONFIG_NVRAM. You
could try just removing the PPC check in drivers/char/Makefile and see
what happens.
