SN systems support additional vendor-specific SAL calls. Some
of these pass kernel addresses to SAL for input or output buffers.
At a minimum, these buffer addresses need to be converted to 
physical addresses if SAL is run in physical mode.

In addition, I think there may be additional problems with our SAL
if we try to run only in physical mode. I'll take a look.....
