You seem to be thinking that this is the final, end-all solution to
everything.  It isn't.  Its a step in the direction that we are trying
go (IIUC).  dink.c is about the easiest one there will be.  of.c has a
slightly more complicated fw_ops.  We still need to figure out what uboot
needs and what PIBS needs and what...

As things are added, it'll evolve.

Not that I know of.

Guess I suck too b/c I can't think of anything better.  As things
evolve, fw_ops may go away all together.  The problem is, I'm not
exactly sure where we're going to end up so this is the best that
I can do with the info that I have.
