Now that ppc64 is basically working I continued playing with Mark's  
v1. I noticed a few glitches, some of which I've started fixing. ppc64  
would no longer reach the prompt with v1 applied; I noticed that,  
e.g., the claim_phys functions did not yet return a phys_addr_t  
despite using it internally. With some fixes like these it is now  
working.

ppc64 required some more work for the MMU translations - I needed to  
tweak some sizes and squeeze in some additional cells for the  
properties.
Still need to add some more .properties pretty-printing to confirm  
whether the values are actually right now.

What I didn't yet look into is that the add_range() etc. functions  
still operate on ucell despite the range_t using a phys_addr_t now.
ppc's ea_to_phys() also still has some assumptions about memory layout  
that need fixing.
