This adds 32-bit support for calling into OFW from the kernel. It's useful
for querying the firmware for misc hardware information, fetching the device
tree, etc.

There's potentially no reason why other platforms couldn't use this, but
currently OLPC is the main user of it.

This work was originally done by Mitch Bradley.

how about changing to ofw_32.c?

YH

Is your suggestion to change the filename from "ofw.c" to "ofw_32.c"? That seems like a good idea to me.
