How about something a little more radical.

Rather than trying to squeeze various ATAGs into DT, why don't
we add a standard ATAG to contain the DT and pass that
through into the kernel. This is IMHO how we _should_ have
done the ATAG compatibility from the start.

That means we could get rid of most of the libfdt in the
decompressor, and instead resolve the differences in the
kernel.
This sounds good. Now when I patched decompressor myself with 
Revision property support, I wanted to ask same question: Why to 
convert some part from ATAGs to DT instead to pass both ATAGs and 
DT to kernel?
