I've been thinking, and one of two things could happen, at least in the
wrapper, we know mem size (Firmware, res data, magic).  Or assume
there's at least XX megs of ram on the system (I _think_ 16mb is the
'normal' min, but of course we have lots of systems breaking that rule).

What I'd like to see, and at least I think would be a good thing to
figure out is a general 'safe' location to store these in.

Again, all this strikes me as unnecessary trouble. Just have the bootloader
tell the kernel where the bi_recs are!

Right.  I think I confused you somewhere along the line.  I want the
kernel to be told the bi_recs are <someplace>.  I just want to get what
people think would be a good rule-of-thumb <someplace>.  I take it you
belive 8mb and change is a good rule-of-thumb location, yes?
