They need to fix their firmware anyway, because it's screwed in other
ways too -- they have an off-by-one error in their handling of partition
numbers, so when yaboot tries to read a partition table it actually gets
the first sector of the first partition, and it all goes downhill from
there. That one was even _fixed_ in the Pegasos firmware last year, but
it's come back in Efika -- and we _can't_ work around it in the kernel.

For Fedora, we're just going to wait for the fixed firmware; we can't
sensibly support it as-is.
