With #5193 patches on ppc the OpenFirmware memory is successfully retained while unmapping the boot loader memory (including its network stack) along with any non-kernel memory. The {{{dma-alloc}}}'ed send/receive buffer is retained inside OpenFirmware though (here 0xff9d1000-0xff9d3000 and OpenFirmware at 0xff800000-0xffa00000), with no proper way to access or free the memory afterwards." bug closed normal R1/beta2 System/Boot Loader R1/Development fixed All
