So a few things:

 - You are doing this on all power systems, not just pseries which is I
   assume what you're testing on - that seems OK to me, but just
   checking.
 - What is the "initialized by firmware" test? Just that IO & MEM are
   enabled?
 - You potentially override an existing default, is that a problem? Can
   the user set the default? (no AFAICS).
 - The x86 code is slightly different, they don't override an existing
   default, why do we?

cheers
