You could try making the 'args' array in 'struct prom_args' be marked 'volatile'.
Ie something like this:
--- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c @@ -115,6 +115,6 @@ struct prom_args { __be32 service; __be32 nargs; __be32 nret; - __be32 args[10]; + volatile __be32 args[10]; }; because I think it's just the compilers turning the small loop over those fields into a "memset()".
