Yes, this is needed for the standard bootloader on some boards.
However, neither the bootloader or the HW are doing what the comment
says.  That is what mktree.c itself does, so I think it's correctly
describing what's going on.

BTW, this is simply a copy of the mktree.c that's been in
arch/ppc/boot/simple for years.  I'm simply adding it to arch/powerpc in
preparation for some more 4xx merge work to follow.
