Sam, just FYI, I think I know what this bug is, I've been helping
Fabio hunt down a similar bug on his machine, and he generated enough
debug info for me to work on a fix.

The issue is that the atyfb_setup_sparc() code in the ATY driver is
doing direct PROM calls to fetch information from the device tree, and
it's doing it in such a way that we will violate the PROM restrictions
that we can only pass <4GB virtual addresses down into prom calls.

That code should be using the in-kernel copy of the device tree,
via the of_*() interfaces, to do it's probing.  And I'm going to
write such a patch to fix this bug.

So sit tight :-)
