Description

Where we can, pass the kernel an FDT facsimile of the OF device tree rather
than a pointer to Open Firmware by default. This eliminates a number of
potentially unsafe calls to firmware from the kernel and provides better
performance.

This feature is meant to be expanded until it is on by default
unconditionally and, ideally, we can then garbage-collect the
nightmare pile of hacks required to call into Open Firmware from a live
kernel.
