Turns out that X does work on my machine (SLES 9SP2) but dies with a
bad translation error on Jon's machine, which is otherwise identical
except it runs gentoo. We are thinking how to best address this (add
IOMMU aware drivers to X? *shudder*), but will disable translation by
default on PHB 0 in the mean time for a friendlier user
experience.
