So long as you convert arch/ppc/boot/ to this as well, why not  
(or at
least being able to grab the infos from these structs somehow).

Once everyone is on a flat tree, I don't object to killing all of  
the
old-style uart definitions steaming out of <asm-ppc/serial.h>.

Tom, do have a test system that I can look at converting that you
would be willing to test the changes to arch/ppc/boot for me.

With Matt's patch, you could boot a PReP kernel (no VGA con) :)
But if you convert LoPEC, I'll throw the kernel at it.

Does PReP use bootcode?  I thought it was OF based, but what do I know.

In qemu?  Yes, it does.
