Note that "hpa" might just be a "handle" and not a real physical address.
It depends on the firmware. Usually it's the physical address though.
I think something else is wrong with your definition or something.

PAGE0 is used in arch/parisc/kernel/firmware.c, inventory.c, pdc_cons.c
and it works in those locations.

No - it doesn't have to be.

Well, modify palo to dump interesting page zero values and then
you'll know what they are supposed to be. I'm pretty sure
firmware sets that up.
