write into OF tree like nvsetenv

Hi,

it is possible to write into the OF settings to adjust the boot
variables? nvsetenv do not work anymore on newer machines.

Is there any way to change variables like "boot-device"?
The idea is to automate the generation of yaboot.conf and booting via
the os-chooser script.

nvsetenv needs fixing. There's a tool that comes with poof that should
work until I fix nvsetenv. Also, mvram is not accessible at all yet on
UMA machines (I'm working on that but it will only work when booting from
OF, not with BootX).
