I'm still not sure about this.

The linux Documentation/devicetree/booting-without-of.txt says
there are two calling conventions for booting here, ATAGS and
with-device-tree-blob, and that even with the device tree blob
method it is still considered "good practise" to pass a valid
machine number in r1. Can you point me to some documentation
that says that -1 is OK now?

(We probably ought to get round to actually implementing
a -dtb option to go with -kernel and -initrd.)
