Well... much as I like small patches, I don't really like having a big
string of patches, each of which does basically nothing on its own,
i.e. split up just for the sake of making smaller, rather than into
separate logically separate changes.

Yeah, I should fill that in with the string from the residual data.
Haven't gotten around to it.

Well, depends what you mean by "supported", really.  My arch/powerpc
port only support UP boards so far...  I realise this will need to
change at some point.

No idea, just copied that from earlier work of Paulus'.  Don't even
know what the property means.

Well, AFAICT, the prep PCI code doesn't need any more info.

Probably not, but it should work on a chunk of them.  Like I say,
there's still a good deal more that needs to be filled in from
residual data or wherever.

Not sure at this stage if it will be best for the bootwrapper to build
a complete tree from residual, or to have a dts skeleton with
substantial chunks filled in by bootwrapper from residual.  I was
intending to merge libfdt into the kernel for more flexible device
tree manipulation before investigating that further.
