It's probably better to "hold that thought" on this patch, since we're
going to make resource tables optional.  I'm keen to tackle this
issue, but need to work a few other things before doing so.

Current task list:
 - Amend/supply new resource table from platform-specific drivers
 - Make resource tables optional
 - Obtain firmwares from the root file system
 - Lots more here including; co-proc DT support, co-proc console, etc
