The palette handling is useful when using a real Open Firmware
implementation which tends to boot in 8-bit mode, so without palette
things will look ... bad.

It's not necessary when using 16/32 bpp framebuffers which is typically
... what BootX provides :-)

Maybe the odd color formats can be tested via qemu.

I don't mind adding DRM support for BootX displays, but getting the 
necessary test HW with a suitable Linux seems to be laborious. Would a 
G4 Powerbook work?

My point was that it's the non-BootX case that cares about the palette
hacks :-)
