Found the pdf again on the web, so here a link:
http://elinux.org/images/c/cf/Power_ePAPR_APPROVED_v1.1.pdf

Funny thing it's using KB(instead of KiB) and MiB. So it's
inconsistent, also the unit with SI prefix would be kB and not KB. So
I'd say ePAPR doesn't care / the authors didn't pay any attention to
this.
