That's not fixable at the X level (well, technically it is but I can't

need to boot via OF and yaboot (or equivalent oldworld) directly, not via
BootX to avoid the PCI resource conflict. Alternative: fix the resource
conflict at the kernel level, new patch by me in the works.

Hmm if you think that its fixable in the X level then we should give it
a try, i can't see how though unless we get X to accept this allocations
(are they legal ?). Any relocation is going to break the fbdev side since
there is no way to inform the atyfb driver about this changes.
