What do you mean for the single/shared mode property?

What is the total segment count? This is the sum of each M64 BAR segments?

Looks from now, we only have one IO/M32 BAR on those platforms. I don't see a

Hey, Gavin

I believe you are more familiar with hardware and skiboot. If you would like
to fix these issues, I would be appreciated. I am fine to give this patch to
you.
