At the moment OFMEM allocates memory from the bottom of RAM upwards, however many loaders/kernels initialise themselves in lower memory areas which can cause them to be overwritten by subsequent memory allocations. Mimic the existing SPARC32 behaviour by allocating physical and virtual memory from the top of RAM downwards.
