In the OFW CaFe camera driver's I2C code, there is a 1 ms delay after
observing that one of bits 18,17,16 is set in the RAW IRQ Status
Register (offset 0x28). Additionally, in the case of an I2C write,
there is another 2 ms delay before beginning to pool those bits.

Complete timings for bios_crypto on LX:
Whirlpool: 1.16 sec / MiB
SHA512: 0.42 sec / MiB
RSA verification: 0.025 sec / hash
ECC verification: 1.13 sec / hash
Combined time for verifying 1MiB firmware image is 1.16 + 0.42 + 2*0.025
+ 2*1.13 ~= 3.9 sec.
That is 2.3 sec fixed + 1.6 sec / MiB
Timings for OFW access to JFFS2 files in NAND FLASH:

In any case, the recipe to fix it is to do the firmware upgrade first,
manually:
ok flash /usb/disk:\boot\q2c25.rom
After that you will have up-to-date firmware and the rest of the
installation will probably go smoothly.

Jim's proposal solves the X problem, and I think we should adopt it.
We also have the problem of letting OFW and the Linux kernel know enough
about the keyboard so developers can type US ASCII , which is the common
subset that is sufficient for managing diagnostics, booting, and
