I am still worried about ppc, and big endian architectures in general. But I don't think we currently have any users there.
we do. I think I'd like to hear Greg Watson's take on this as he is working with the PPC 970 guys and this will impact him.
Ron we have users of the LinxuBIOS table on PPC? It was my impression that we did not.
I would be happy to hear what Greg has to say. If nothing uses this entry I will be happy to change this. Otherwise we need to know what the test program below reports on ppc.
Nothing uses this currently, but I will be providing support to pass the entire device tree to a payload in the near future. Whether this will be using linuxbios tables, s-expressions or XML depends on the results of the current discussion.
On ppc32, gcc-3.2.2 I get a size of 24. I'll try ppc64 later today.
