Actually I'm not sure about this approach at all. Couldn't specifying the
open firmware tree be done separately from the build (e.g., just after)?
Maybe hooked off the new proposed 'platform object' in xend. Xc_linux_build
is really ugly enough already: I think in future we would like to split
xc_linux_build up into smaller API functions, even for x86, and that the
patch you propose goes in the opposite direction to this.
