I noticed that in the NetBSD sources too.  bsd_openprom.h says:

#define OPENPROM_STARTVADDR     0xffd00000
#define OPENPROM_ENDVADDR       0xfff00000

I wrote a program to try and read those addresses in both /dev/mem
and /dev/kmem but the read just aborts with EFAULT.  Does anyone know
if that addresse range is mapped in the kernel virtual space?
