Great work. Just a minor nit:
+ vsid = (ea>>28) + SEGR_BASE;
Please add spaces around ">>".
I wonder if is_ppc64() is correct for all known CPUs. Alternatively
the CPU init function could set a global is_ppc64 flag, or call the
MMU initialize function.
In dsi_exception the mask could be initialized just once and in other
cases a static value could be used for speed. The speed of OpenBIOS is
of course not very critical.
