I have updated my patch for OpenBIOS on Sparc32/64 to support the
changed interface. I think we should be ready to apply most of the
patches. Paul had reservations about libuuid, so that patch should be
left out for now. Likewise for the CPU speed patch.

I propose to apply patches 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 8. Any objections?
