It took me approx. 4 hours to factor out the code and make a proof-of-concept FDT support for a little-endian ARM platform. ;-) (The device tree was only describing a cpu and a nor flash, though. No support for interrupt- and gpio-controllers. And no support for U-Boot, I just built the dtb file into the kernel).
ARM could benefit tremendously I believe from a similar virtualized interrupt mapping & OF tree to powerpc for their gazillions of weirdly cascaded interrupt controller setups :-) Ben.
