Outputing v17 instead of 16 requires more words to be added to the 
header, and the library does fine with v16.  Actually the v1 trees has 
some other differences such as initrd addresses were kernel linear not 
real, cpus were assigned logical numbers  ... so while the structure 
didn't change except for the header field, the contents did.  Actually, 
when converting v3 to v16 some of the code issn't needed, the ifs allow 
the code size to be reduced.

Hence the ifdef NO_CHECK.   When developing, sometimes its nice to know 
if its your input or your program.  These functions are destructive to 
an improperlly formed tree, and in non-obvious ways.  When debugging, 
it's not hard to hardcode console write or read the printf string 
buffer with a hardware debugger to see error messages.  That said, it 
could be removed.

And if you notice, there is a "how many to move" argument.  The point 
of moving them to the front of the tree is the v17 device tree header 
takes more space than the v3 one, and the v2 header is smaller than 
both v17 and v16 header.  Since I am converting the tree in place, the 
space has to come from somewhere.  Since we are pretty much guaranteed 
to get several nops, this function moves them forward so they can be 
overwritten.  In practice we move 1-3 NOPS from the early properties > 
8 bytes and early grandchild nodes (eg /cpus/PowerPC,xxx).

It says you didn't pass a tree ... yea, its dumb, but I prefer an 
explicit error to figuring out where a machine check came from.

If the tree is >= 16 then we don't presently need to do anything.   If 
there is a theoritical v4 tree we don't know what to do.  And if output 
version is 17 but input is 16 we don't know what to do either, because 
there likely aren't nops in the tree to consume.  I suppose we could 
preceed it with a check for version == OUTPUT_VERSION, but then I'm 
sure I'd get pointless differentation :-).

Out of order?  There has never been a spec as to the order of the 
blocks, only the implicit assumption that they follow the device tree 
header in a reasonably packed sequence.  booting-without-of says it 
must be in ram,; the offsets are unsigned 32 bit quantities.

As to the order, used, the first implemntation was the kernel which 
writes memreserve, strings, then struct (both the openfirmware client 
in prom_init and the iSeries procedural library in dt.c).  The second 
implentation written is a procedural based library (similar to iseries, 
never published, but still used internally) that starts with a 
pre-built header and string table, builds the dt_struct as the 
functions are called, and when finished copies the memreserve table and 
fills in the dt_size, total size, and memreserve offset.

fs2dt writes memreserve, struct, then strings.  Aparently the same as 
dtc.  But yes, the strings can be before the struct, and the mem 
reserve may or may not be when the strings are before the struct.
