Re: Merging ppc32 and ppc64

I was under the impression that ALL platforms regardless if the had a 
OF firmware or not would be using a flattened device tree.  Any 
conversion between an OF tree to a flatten tree would end up happening 
in boot wrapper code going forward.
Ah OK -- so part of the problem is indeed terminology
confusion.  I view the "boot wrapper code" (prom_init.c)
as being part of the kernel.

Another thing is that I do not want prom_init to kill
OF at all, which means you cannot have a static device
tree.  But that is another fight ;-)
