A bit yukcy but I suppose it'll do for now ... though this shouldn't
be kept as a long term approach unless there's some versionning or
such. You also need to pull the initrd btw. 
I really don't think we should be doing it like that in the kernel
proper. Provide a DT blob in the bootwrapper by all means, but there's
no real need to override the device-tree like that when all we really
need to do is refrain from crashing when there's memory listed in the
device-tree.
That's not the only bug of the old device-tree though.
If we're going to avoid hacking kexec userspace tools, we _want_ the RMO
memory listed in the device-tree anyway. But we can fix that up for
ourselves rather than overriding the whole device-tree, surely?
