Thanks alot for your work - and sorry for my late response.

Unfortunately, it seems to me that your patch will interfere with
PowerPC machines, that also use OpenFirmware. Looking briefly on a
Macintosh at hand, it contains devspec files in sysfs too, but not the
modules.ofmap that your patch seems to rely on.

Could anyone check if I am right - and perhaps figure out a sane way to
deal with the different openfirmware implementations?
