Re: [PATCH] Open Firmware device tree virtual filesystem

Leaving aside the issue of in-memory or not, I don't think
it is realistic to think any completely common implementation
will work for this -- it might for current SPARC+PowerPC+OLPC,
but more stuff will be added over time...

I see nothing supporting this IMHO bogus claim.

Please keep in mind that not all systems want to kill OF
as soon as they enter the kernel -- some want to keep it
active basically forever (or only remove it when the user
asks for it).
