de0acbf78f Change the device path representation in libofw to use the full firmware
path, instead of an internal i386 specific one.  Don't try to interpret
a disklabel in ofw_disk.c, open the partition's device node directly and
let the firmware do it.  This fixes booting from a partition other than 'a'
on sparc64, which is needed to support more installation methods.

cae2c81dc2 Mega-patch for OpenFirmware loader support.
- Flesh out ofw_readin routine.
- Add OpenFirmware load and exec routines.
- Make sure memory allocation for the kernel is done correctly.
- Change the way the heap is allocated so as to make it easier to deallocate
  when we hand over.
- Add a command to print memory maps similar to the one for ia64.

With this patch, I can now load and hand over to a kernel on my iMac.  There
are some problems with OpenFirmware routines failing after the hand over that
still need to be addressed.

4cc1860f9b OpenFirmware/PowerPC loader, part 2.
As of this patchset, the loader builds (under NetBSD/macppc), boots, interacts
and talks to BOOTP/NFS servers.

(main.c was moved from boot/ofw/libofw to boot/ofw/common but has no revision
 history)
