Use IEEE 1541-2002 unit prefixes for sizes.    
Does ePAPR recommend this?  
Not directly, but the paper (v1.1) itself is using MiB as well which
could be seen as a recommendation.
Found the pdf again on the web, so here a link:
http://elinux.org/images/c/cf/Power_ePAPR_APPROVED_v1.1.pdf

Funny thing it's using KB(instead of KiB) and MiB. So it's
inconsistent, also the unit with SI prefix would be kB and not KB. So
I'd say ePAPR doesn't care / the authors didn't pay any attention to
this.
Hi Ralph

Thanks for checking into this.

My preference, and it is only a preference, is to not do this. Keep
with MB, KB.
