Dear Jason Gunthorpe,

I see two potential issues with this idea:
*) It only works when LPAE is enabled, so we would have to have
different internal register addresses depending on whether LPAE is
enabled or not. Probably not impossible, but not very
straightforward either.
*) It would require Linux to change the internal registers address
(for now the kernel relies on the bootloader). The problem is that
we can't do it early enough to preserve the earlyprintk
functionality. Maybe you have suggestions on how to achieve that?
Best regards,
Thomas
