The bootloader should pass in the device information, just like how
powerpc does it.

I might be OK with having it passed in using a compressed format like
powerpc allows for, mostly because for things like kexec et. al we'll
need to allow the kernel to pass the device tree to a kexec of itself
efficiently, but that's pretty much about it.

But it would still come from the bootloader.
