Hmm, I'm not sure whether the kernel is the deciding factor here
but I will give it a try. I need to investigate into this mechanism
a bit more.
It's a bit odd that OpenFirmware has such weird limitations. I have
known these things from classic x86 PCs but I wouldn't expect that
from a fully-fledged 64-bit system like the Sun Ultra machines.
Would be good if someone knowledgeable from the Oracle crowd could
chime in. Maybe there are some tricks to work around the limit.

Of course. I'm not going to commit anything without testing it first.
