Would it make sense to add an IPL_assert(ptr <= 0xffffffff) here?


I'm not sure... I remember something about the bios always having to be below the 2^32 memory line. But I suppose it doesn't hurt to add the assert anyway. Then, someday, if my assumption proves not to be true or someone changes that assumption we are still covered.
