Would this also make it possible for linuxppc to support machines without
OF? Currently MkLinux does a similar maneuver and I wonder if this
minikernel could replace the Mach Kernel and just catch whatever data
gets sent from the MkLinux Booter about video settings etc. Dunno how
linuxppc loads really, so this may be silly.
