Well, there are still the opendir/readdir/etc. functions which are linux-specific and could be implemented another way on another OS. But as it is now it's probably simple enough for somebody who'd want to abstract it. > Regarding open firmware and device trees - yes, it is IEEE1275 which can > be implemented anywhere.

It should be fine as it is now: even if ibm,phandle and ibm,ppc-interrupt-server#s are not there, the L1 cache information should be properly detected. Samuel
