This patch adds support for a proper device-tree.
A porper device-tree on cell contains be nodes
for each CBE containg nodes for SPEs and all the
other special devices on it.
Ofcourse oldschool devicetree is still supported.

Christian, I only now saw that there is this rather important
patch left, it never stood out as something for 2.6.21 and now
it's too late for that.
This might explain why people could not boot some hardware
with Fedora 7.

Should we try to get this in as a hotfix?
Please do.

Ben.
