Hi folks !
Anybody aware of anything other than Cell using that driver ?
I'd like to make it a platform driver instead of having something that
pokes at anything that has a "device_type" set to "nvram" (which is
gross and bogus). But I need to know what platforms to fixup...
Cheers,
Ben.

I believe our nvram infrastructure predates it by a long shot :-)
powerpc /dev/nvram stuff is very very very ancient.
