The recent oftree activities look indeed very promising; the different boot-information-passing methods, mainly in powerpc and arm land, is IMHO and important field where a generic kernel infrastructure would make sense for the embedded people. Taken that oftree has created robustness and compatiblity problems in the past but seems to move into a good direction recently, feedback from core kernel developers would certainly be a good thing. > if we can get a few more like that out of the woodwork, this approach > might end up being successful.
