How about something a little more radical.

Rather than trying to squeeze various ATAGs into DT, why don't we add a
standard ATAG to contain the DT and pass that through into the kernel.
This is IMHO how we _should_ have done the ATAG compatibility from the
start.

That means we could get rid of most of the libfdt in the decompressor,
and instead resolve the differences in the kernel.
