I took a look at the situation.  It boils down to this:

The catch-22 is that if Maria updates the internal tree to get the fixes
in the public tree, the bootargs problem will go away, but the yaboot
problem will appear.

So we really need to know what yaboot is complaining about.

Do we really need yaboot? (Just looking for a workaround...)

Kawachiya cannot netboot for political reasons in his lab, so he actually installs Xen on his Local Disk. We should certainly support this booting model and so he is sorta stuck with a bootloader and yaboot is what we are all stuck with ATM.
