This commit log could be more descriptive since the replacement below
isn't in the standard "sizeof(struct) + sizeof(element) * count" format.
:) It took me a moment to figure out what was going on:

struct openpromio
{
        unsigned int oprom_size;        /* Actual size of the oprom_array. */
        char    oprom_array[];          /* Holds property names and values. */
};

sizeof(struct openpromio) == sizeof(int)   :P

With that understood, yeah, these look good to me. :)
