Just to add to this, in particular the questions I am trying to solve 
now are:

1) Are the memory properties physical or virtual? (totphys and totavail 
appear to be physical, where as totmap appears to be virtual?)

2) Should the relevant properties in the /memory and /virtual-memory 
nodes in the device tree be updated at the same time? (I think yes, as 
removing the properties causes boot to fail even on SPARC32).

ATB,
