Right. drivers/char/nvram.c is the PC-style NVRAM driver. CHRP and PReP(?)
can use it. drivers/macintosh/nvram.c is the PMac-style (Basically pre-new
world rom). arch/ppc/kernel/pmac_nvram is for anything newer then that, it
seems. Somehow, all three need to co-exist happily. What _should_ be the
"easy" way is to merge the drivers/macintosh and arch/ppc/kernel ones together.
