* Rules for the checksum of the HPMC handler:
* 1. The IVA does not point to PDC/PDH space (ie: the OS has installed
* its own IVA).
* 2. The word at IVA + 32 is nonzero.
* 3. If Length (IVA + 60) is not zero, then Length (IVA + 60) and
* Address (IVA + 56) are word-aligned.
* 4. The checksum of the 8 words starting at IVA + 32 plus the sum of
* the Length/4 words starting at Address is zero.
