Did you actually hit a problem?
Now we have a max depth of 64. Seems like that should be plenty... Any
idea how this compares to when we run out of stack space?

Yay. I'm happy to see parameters removed instead of added to this function.

We can probably further simplify things by returning an int with
negative being errors and positive being the size. Also, dryrun can be
dropped and implied by mem and/or nodepp being NULL.

Use a define here.

What about depth == 64 case? I think the behavior should be a WARN and
ignore those nodes so we at least can continue to boot and see the
error. Of course, if there is a phandle pointing to ignored nodes, we
have to handle that too.
