2010-09-23x86, olpc: Rework BIOS signature checkDaniel Drake
The XO-1.5 laptop is not currently detected as an OLPC machine because it fails this XO-1-centric check. Now that we have OLPC OFW support in the kernel, a more sensible check is to see if we found OFW during boot and check the architecture property. Also remove a now-meaningless codepath, as we're always going to have OFW support with OLPC.

2010-07-30x86, olpc: Constify an olpc_ofw() argAndres Salomon
The arguments passed to OFW shouldn't be modified; update the 'args' argument of olpc_ofw to reflect this. This saves us some later casting away of consts.

2010-06-18x86, olpc: Add support for calling into OpenFirmwareAndres Salomon
Add support for saving OFW's cif, and later calling into it to run OFW commands. OFW remains resident in memory, living within virtual range 0xff800000 - 0xffc00000. A single page directory entry points to the pgdir that OFW actually uses, so rather than saving the entire page table, we grab and install that one entry permanently in the kernel's page table. This is currently only used by the OLPC XO. Note that this particular calling convention breaks PAE and PAT, and so cannot be used on newer x86 hardware.
