This patch cleans up xen_init_early() to construct a start_info_t

from the devtree as Patch1 fixes xen to no longer create a
start_info_t

Please make xsi static in its declaration earlier in the file.
Sure. And while I wanted to access xsi vai xen_start_info,
the
xen_start_info = &xsi
seemed a bit awkward. Not sure if I should switch to xsi. Thoughts?
There is too much code referring to xen_start_info as a pointer.
perhaps making that static __xen_start_info, so its obvious that we
are just suing it for memory allocation, at some point when all
references are gone we can flatten this out.

Hmm, I think you need to look for them always.
You _at_least_ need the console evtchn, which may not be zero and we
create the node/prop anyway.
Hrm, you may be right. I know that dom0 boots fine with this, but
that
maybe because it defaults those values to 0. I'll kill the if().
Feel free to "panic()" more:
NOTE: this is early so a "udbg_printf(); HYPERVISOR_shutdown
(SHUTDOWN_poweroff);" will do cuz panic() is no available yet.
Yeah, good idea though none of the messages get out if our shared_info
page isn't setup correctly, which I learned during my testing of this
patch, was the value most likely to get hosed.
Oh yeah, you probably want to:
HYPERVISOR_shared_info = ...;
xen_start_info->flags |= SIF_INITDOMAIN; # or not
udbg_init_xen();
As soon as you can, before you check everything else.
If you want more info earlier you can always build with:
CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_XEN_DOM0
xor
CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_XEN_DOMU
-JX
