Actually there is another option - does the previous allocation before 
this one that returns 0xffc67000 as the virtual address? In that case it 
could indicate that va=0x0 doesn't have a special meaning after all.

Is it possible for you to post the complete log output from an unpatched 
OpenBIOS for us to look at so we can see the complete pattern of 
allocations?


ATB,

Mark.
