 (kernel with device tree expected to appear in os33 for arm)

 We should teach userland scripts to look for "ofw" stuff in /proc/device-
 tree/ . We may need compat with /ofw to keep support for older kernels on
 x86

 One possible fallback is to bind-mount /proc/device-tree to /ofw

 We need to deal with (at least) olpc-utils, dracut-modules-olpc, bitfrost.
