I was thinking of writing a bootwrapper that would
convert residual data to flat device tree. There
is a lot of valuable information in the residual data,
like the interrupt routing (which is correct if you 
can read the spec, which is not what the code in
arch/ppc did). 

We were wondering the other day how reliable the residual data are...

On the boards I use, they are very good. And there is some information
(memory size, tb and cpu freq, etc...) that I'd rather take from the 
residual data than trying to guess.

David Gibson's been toying with that too already, you should sync with
him. 

I've not yet started to write anything (finishing a hardware project).

Ok, well, anyway, that's good to know that they are good.

Ben.
