Very cool!

Would there be any point sharing this with the "naked metal" platform 
Alistair has for booting POWER in L3 without OPAL? Or is it easy enough 
to have a several different simple 64s platforms?

I have an HPT conditional compile patch and a few other diet Kconfig
things I'll now be better justified to try get merged :)

Thanks,
Nick
