[PATCH 2/2 RFC] of/mips: Add device tree support to MIPS

Although I tested this patch, and it compiles, I have a few more 
comments now that I have studied it.

Basically, it looks like most of the code in arch/mips/kernel/prom.c is 
not generic to MIPS, but instead highly specific to some platform 
(perhaps PowerTV).

These Kconfig items should only be selectable if OF is truly supported. 
  Hardwiring  ARCH_HAS_DEVTREE_MEM to USE_OF at this global level 
doesn't seem quite right either.  I think it is conceivable that we 
would want USE_OF without ARCH_HAS_DEVTREE_MEM.

This mapping function depends on the interrupt controller architecture. 
  It is not at all a good fit for what I want to do on Octeon.  We have 
a hierarchy of interrupt mapping that is best described by a two level 
tree, so has '#interrupt-cells = <2>;'.  We definitely need a different 
implementation than this.

This debugfs bit will fail.  of_debugfs_root is never initialized that I 
can see.
