Near as I can tell (and I'm about to try this and then see if bk will pass
it along happily) is that all the calls to nvram_init have been changed to
pmac_nvram_init.

I've just done a quick grep through kernel code, and found lots of
nvram code in at least three files, and decided it was too late to
