seems in include a patch that Nathan made for testing on PowerMac/ iMac/Xserve G5's that failed the PowerMac7,3 test that was tried by Jukka A. Ukkonen.

Part of the ofw_sprg_prepare() and ofw_sprg_restore() activity is required for PowerMac G5's to boot: the save of the FreeBSD sprg0 value and its later restore back to sprg0. (Established by other testing after Nathan's patch was tried.)

My guess is that this code was accidentally included in -r306065, not intentionally included.


[There is the separate issue that avoiding restoring the Open Firmware sprg0 value before calling into Open Firmware (leaving the FreeBSD value in place) helps PowerMac G5's boot more reliably by allowing correct handling some SLB faults that sometimes occur.]

Crap, I got extra stuff in my diff. Going to revert this part tonight, until everything is known good.
