Heh, come on Segher, please :) Ok, it's a _partial_ implementation of
the OF client interface that provides enough to make the kernel's
prom_init() trampoline happy. It's still a lot more code that providing
just a flattened device tree though :)

Well, part of this spec is to also define what content in the device
tree the kernel is expecting.
