My question remains: shouldn't Linux get that
information from the device tree, instead?  The
bootwrapper or bootloader can put it there.

Yes it _should_, but it doesn't.

It _used_ to. The 2.6.16 kernel just used the memory listed in the
device tree. That's _why_ we need this hack -- because when we boot from
2.6.16 with the memory listed in the device tree, it ends up getting
registered twice by the new kernel.
