Out of curiosity, is this paving the way for FDT support in general?
If so, to what extent does the Linux kernel support FDT for x86?

I have had thoughts about looking into what Device Tree / FDT is all
about, and I'm wondering what it is going to bring to the table
(positive and negative) for x86. For example, would this, in theory,
depricate the boot_params structure, e820 map etc...

Regards,

Graeme
