- OpenFirmware returns overlapping memory regions. Use a simple
brute force algorithm to merge these into non-overlapping
regions. This fixes bugs in reporting of available memory

The new pmap.c is based on NetBSD's newer pmap.c (for the mpc6xx processors)

sparc64 pmap.c.
There is no change to how far the kernel gets (it makes it to the mountroot
prompt in psim) but the new pmap code is a lot cleaner.
