Ah, I see, thanks for the pointers. I've got whatever firmware came
with the "dd and go" Fedora image I found on the internet somewhere,
which doesn't seem to do the memory node population for me. I've been
hesitant to rebuild the firmware as I don't want to break the Fedora
"safe OS", and if there's a way to get mired in some build
environment, I seem to have a nose for finding it.

I'll probably just keep the patch locally in my tree, and if I'm
forced to update the firmware for some other reason I'll try removing
it.
