Abstract the operations used in the bootwrapper.  The operations
have been divided up into platform operations (platform_ops),
device tree operations (dt_ops), and console operations (console_ops).
Is there any particular reason why the call_kernel() method is in the
dt_ops?  That doesn't seem like a very natural place for it.
No, it doesn't seem natural.
Is it
just so the dt_ops can say whether to pass NULL or the prom entry
point in r5?
Yes.  Whether you pass the NULL or not hinges on whether its flat tree
or not so I made it a dt_op.  What are you thinking?
