Grant, this is based on your test-devicetree branch, if it could be
merged via there would be great.
Currently when processing flattened device trees, the kernel expects
the phandle in a property called "linux,phandle". The ePAPR spec -
not being Linux specific - instead requires phandles to be encoded in
a property named simply "phandle". This patch makes the kernel accept
either form when unflattening the device tree.
