I have updated the DTC to have several bug fixes:

    - asm_emit_cell() little endian bug fix
    - use two .long and not .quad directives
    - Eliminate emitting memreserve for blob in ASM output

These updates are available here:

    www.jdl.com/git_repos
and
    git://ozlabs.org/srv/projects/dtc/dtc.git

Please verify and let me know of any problems!

Please feel free to patch these into existence as needed! :-)

Thanks,
