I've posted a couple of RFC patches that attempted to claim some more memory on ieee1275 platforms, which is necessary for the verifiers to do their work. The RFCs were a bit unsatisfactory and also it turns out they broke in some corner cases.
This, I believe, is a proper, upstream-worthy solution for getting more memory on ieee1275 platforms and powerpc-ieee1275 in particular. It is also, sadly, an set of quite complex solutions, as the commit messages for patches 2 and 3 show! It seems this is the cost of broad platform support and backwards compatibility. There's no reason for this to go into 2.06. Kind regards, Daniel v2: fix the bug where I mixed up model and compatible.
