It would appear that librtas isn't enforcing the RMO buffer size
communicated by /proc/ppc64/rmobuf.  This does sound like (partly) a
librtas bug, and I'll have it fixed shortly.

Librtas hands out low memory space beginning at the base of the reserved
region.  This could only occur in the case of a system that had already
reserved the 19 pages of low memory without releasing any of them.  This
seems close to impossible, without some application acting erroneously.
