	 * 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.
