Like initrd, some people will find they need to compile it in to the
kernel image to fit some bootloader they can't change, or daren't risk
changing in already rolled out devices that they want to update to a
DT-using kernel.

Yes, I fully expect that.  Fortunately the situation is better than it
was with powerpc.  Since the machine id is being retained, a
DT-enabled kernel can continue to support non-DT systems.  There will
not be a flag day to cut everything over to a new boot interface.

That's excellent, thank you.  I was a bit unsure about how that was going.
