The patch creates Openfirmware device path from qdev
hierarchy. Each element of a device path depends on type of a bus
the device resides on. You can find various bus bindings here:
http://playground.sun.com/1275/bindings/ and main spec is here
http://forthworks.com/standards/of1275.pdf. Format in which list of
device paths is passed to firmware is documented by comment (it is very
simple). The only thing missing is command line option documentation. I
will add it and resend if no more changes are needed for patch to be
excepted.
