That means that we do not make assumptions regarding:
- the state of the cache (enabled vs disabled)
- if the high BATs are enabled or not
- if the MMU is enabled or not

Is this clearer? I'm not a native english speaker as you may have noticed already :-P

Yes, you said. Still, I'd like a proper argument :)

Yes. Maybe

mfmsr 9 ; rlwinm 9,9,0,~((1<<4)|(1<<5)) /* MSR_DR|MSR_IR */

Ok.

Great. Is this documented somewhere?

I'll offer a dead chicken to compensate for this.

See analog question for gamecube bootwrapper bits.

I can change that too if it's the general way to go.

No. There's a bit of nostalgia there.
(On the other hand there's no real reason to identity map it).

I'll get rid of them, then.

No. You should first set them up and then enable them.
The content of the HIGH BATs is undefined on boot, AFAIK.

Ok. I'll check if the caches are enabled. If they aren't I'll invalidate and enable them.

Calling ug_grab_io_base() from ug_is_adapter_present() can be misleading too (you are supposed to just check if the adapter is present in that function, according to the name).
If the "!" is ugly I can use the following idiom, introducing an error variable.

  error = ug_grab_io_base();
  if (!error && ug_is_adapter_present())
     /* blah */
