As do the TestDrive people on their XP1000.

I think the problem might be that we unconditionally return 1 in
pmap_uses_prom_console().

I might be missing something in a quick read, but I do not see how we
can go back & read a second MDDT_SYSTEM cluster after we've read the
first system cluster and physmem has been set to a non-zero value.  I
think this guy's problem might be that he's got his 2GB spread across
2 clusters with system tags.

The patch I mailed him makes pmap_uses_prom_console return 0 in his
case, which should allow the detection of a second system cluster.
