Ah okay - I was still hoping that no news was good news and I admit I
wanted something in place to unblock the SPARC32 OFMEM patchset.

Mostly, apart from the above issue. If you don't mind, I would apply
this part myself tomorrow, moving your two functions down to avoid the
static prototype and without my explanatory C++-style comment.

Well I did point out that we're missing the opposite direction, so I
was hoping you would add an ofmem_translate_inverse() or so, so that
both could almost symmetrically use those functions, not just for ppc.

The good news is that these macros are designed for internal use only,
so they only need to provide valid mappings for the ROM area which
simplifies things a lot.
Okay - please do. You're probably the nearest person we have to a PPC
maintainer at the moment so I'm happy to defer to you here.

The hash tables are platform-specific and possibly incomplete.

Only for sparc! For ppc I located it further below, beneath the
(aligned) hash map iirc.
Obviously we all try to set up sane translations initially, so I was
more worried about runtime. But on second thoughts, if someone remaps
our malloc zone with whatever alignment then we're doomed anyway.
I must admit that I still don't understand which case exactly broke
the alignment on sparc in the first place, so I'm unable to provide
pinpointed solutions. I'm regarding these as general functions - thus
a va2pa() that doesn't respect the va translations is broken IMO.

The issue is that the old routines just aligned the virtual address,
whereas the new ones also ensure the physical address is aligned. This
is required for the memory used for the MMU page tables, for example.
