Yeah, this won't work on Superdome, which has no 32-bit firmware. At
this point in boot, we've got parisc_narrow_firmware set, which will
go kaboom.

We can fix this pretty easily, palo knows if it was started with 64-bit
firmware, we can just bring this into the kernel. I'll hack a patch for
palo this weekend, but you might as well continue just using what you've
got until then.
