Not neccessarily. Only if that really is a plenty good interface for the task. And maybe not even then, if there are enough other things that shall be passed to the payload.
What is the status of the OFW device tree parser in x86 Linux?
Its in the OLPC tree - I don't know if its made it all the way up stream yet - there was unpleasantness last year some time when they tried to push it, I think that stalled then.
Do we still want to go with that or roll our own LB->payload interface?
OFW device tree gets my vote.
