 This all is very tricky, the best solution is to not call OF functions
 "later" in the kernel, especially anything that could trigger changes
 in mappings. For other functions we could merge the OF entries with the
 kernel entries and keep them alive.
 
 Can the palette stuff be done before we take over the MMU?
