Re: [XenPPC] how is this for device type :)

getprop 0x80795e8 device_type -> 0x29 (chrp we are not, but smart yaboot is not)

Glad you enjoy it.  device_type has to start with "chrp" or otherwise
(some versions of) yaboot assume your machine is a mac, and things
blow up after that.  Hence this evil workaround.

I recently changed it so it is not so yoda-speak anymore, and perhaps
a bit more descriptive, btw.  And a big huge fat source code comment,
but you don't see that, sigh.
