Woah - VERY much so.  I'll simply use that and add it to my kernel 
loader eventually.

Although - where does it get it its memory? zcalloc eventually calls 
alloc, and the memory has not yet been claimed at this point....


Don't bother to explain if you don't want to :).  This is where 
linuxppc's coffboot starts mapping with the BATs.
