responsibility of determining the layout of physical memory, determining
the CPU timebase frequency, and handling the zoo of SMP mechanisms
found on PowerPC.

of OFW access semantics, in order to allow future support for real-mode
OF access and flattened device frees. OF client interface modules are
implemented using KOBJ, in a similar way to the PPC PMAP modules.
Because we need Open Firmware to be available before mutexes can be used on
sparc64, changes are also included to allow KOBJ to be used very early in
the boot process by only using the mutex once we know it has been initialized.

This avoids that mem.c has to include ofw_machdep.h, including
all OFW related headers.
o Provide a stub for OF_decode_addr(), which is used by low-level
console drivers to obtain a tag and handle given a OFW phandle.
This is different from sparc64, where a fake bus tag needs to be
created explicitly.
