There is an address space collision between the vmalloc area and where
the prom maps the framebuffer.

The vmalloc range is 0xfe600000 to 0xffc00000.  I have a cg6 that gets
mapped to 0xfee00000, and a cg14 with 8MB vsimm that gets mapped to
0xfe700000.  These leave only 8MB and 1MB of usable vmalloc space before
bad things happen.

We may want to find a different vm hole to put vmalloc into.  Is there
any documentation on what address spaces are reserved with the different
prom versions?
