New code that tries to use ia64_ptob(Maxmem) for something other than VHPT sizing would be broken.
Like machdep.c:164?
printf("real memory = %ld (%ld MB)\n", ia64_ptob(Maxmem), ia64_ptob(Maxmem) / 1048576);
This one is ok, because it's before line 598. Any code executed after line 598 would be broken.
As for the fact that Maxmem is in bytes and physmem isn't: we define Maxmem to be equal to physmem (machdep.c:598). So they are in fact equal.
All I'm saying is:

- Maxmem = physmem; + Maxmem = ia64_ptob(physmem); init_param2(physmem);
/*
i386 does something equivalent.
