It would be much better if the kernel would 'just work'. The ideal way
of achieving that is for the firmware to be fixed -- but that's been
promised for a long time now, and we just don't believe you any more. So
working round it in the kernel seems to be the next best option.
Does the efika use a boot wrapper? If so then putting the fixup in
the boot wrapper might be better.
It's standard OF boot process, the fixup belongs in prom_init. Grant has
a better version of the patch that puts the fixup along with other efika
related ones that are already there.
