Do you have suggestions on where I might begin a hunt for such an OF
patch?  I assume this is something that one could load in NVRAM under
any OS that will take care of the bug until the next time the NVRAM
is reset?

Yes. DTS provides one for some machines (for example the 6400) if you
ask. Some PCI card vendors with a pci<->pci bridge on their card need
it.

I suspect I'm going to feel silly for needing to ask this, but how do
I contact DTS and what does it stand for?

I was aware that there was a patch for the 6400.   Does that same
patch solve the multi-level PPB problem in PowerSurge as well?

Thank you again.  I'm ecstatic to have received this info from you.
I wasn't expecting to ever get any info on this issue.  Most people
don't seem to know about it, or aren't willing to discuss it, maybe.
