FYI - All PA device addresses are 4k page aligned.
I've seen devices alias within a page but the IODC can only
report the number of 4k pages a devices uses - ergo 4K aligned.

Ok - this is another SMP issue...I'll hardcode 0xfffe0000 for now. 

Platform	Processor HPA
--------	-------------
712/80		0xfffbe000
715/100		0xfffbe000
B132L		0xfffbe000
B180L		0xfffbe000
C200+		0xfffa0000

Absolutely. I brought this up so it doesn't have to get redesigned
by whoever feels like tackling those issues.  Note the subject line.
I'm just not into doing thing two or three times in a row.
