On certain sparc64 systems, I have to stop making PROM calls early
in the boot right after I fetch the device tree into the kernel.

So yes for a kexec() I'll have to pass an fdt or similar to the
child kernel.

It could be a big linear fdt buffer, or fragments, it really doesn't
matter all that much actually.
