Is anyone interested in trying this out with PowerPC or another architecture? I don't have the ability to test anything other than ARM, but it would nice to include support fdt-based run-time config for at least a few architectures. I am hoping that the changes to the two files above can be replicated and everything will 'just work', but it is far from certain.
