Bug Description
When I attempt to load the nvram module, I get the following in dmesg:
[ 4349.637554] <4>nvram: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
[13216.672892] nvram: Unknown symbol of_address_
[13216.672990] nvram: Unknown symbol __alloc_bootmem
[13216.673098] nvram: Unknown symbol pmac_newworld
of_address_
This is quite important since /dev/nvram is needed to point Open Firmware at the location of the boot loader on powerpc.

Yes, looks like this should probably be static on PPC.
