MULTIPLATFORM is here to die (or rather be always there, with
ARCH=powerpc we really want to NOT reproduce the old single platform
crap) , but yes, prom_init.c is supposed to only be run on real OFs...

I suppose we woul have to deal with those in early_init_devtree() for
machines that didn't go through prom_init()....
