This patch adds a function for finding a node in flat tree
based on an alias name. It can be used in early boot code.

Typical use case is a situation when early code needs data
from a arbitrary tree node, eg. base address of "serial0" to
initialise debug output or some sort of ID register to
probe hardware.

The tree source could look like that:

/ {
	aliases {
		serial0 = &uart0;
	};

	uart0: uart@f0001000 {
		reg = <0xf0001000 0x1000>;
	};
}

Any further comments? Makes sense? Not at all? ;-)

Cheers!
