We really ought to look into fixing the bootloader protocol to allow
ATAGS and DT simultaneously BTW, the current situation is a pain
especially if you need uImage.

The pluggable modules on Cragganmore are going to be a problem for that,
I have some ideas for a subsystem to handle the remapping generically
but not had the time to actually do it yet.  The stuff the BeagleBone
guys were pushing wasn't suitable as it seemed like it was basically
just a wrapper around DT which excludes non-DT platofrms.
