On PowerPC it's very normal to not support all of the physical RAM in real mode.

Oh? Are you referring to "real mode limit", or 32-bit implementations with
more than 32 address lines, or something else?

Either way, RMO is a really bad name for this, since that name is already
used for a similar but different concept.

Also, it seems you construct the physical address by masking out bits from the effective address. Most implementations will trap or machine check if
you address outside of physical address space, instead.
