Would something like the following work to get the serial/revision
variables?

static char *serial16;
static char *revision16;
static char *mac;

static int kindle_rev_init(void)
{
	int ret;
	size_t size;
	void *buf;

	ret = read_file_2("/dev/disk0.boot0.userdata", &size, &buf, 128);

	serial16 = xzalloc(17);
	revision16 = xzalloc(17);
	mac = xzalloc(17);

	if (!ret) {
		memcpy(serial16, buf, 16);
		memcpy(revision16, buf + 96, 16);
		memcpy(mac, buf + 48, 16);
	}

	globalvar_add_simple_string("board.serial16", &serial16);
	globalvar_add_simple_string("board.revision16", &revision16);
	globalvar_add_simple_string("board.mac", &mac);

	free(buf);
}

You would have to move this partitioning to device tree though.
