As far as I can see, DT isn't getting anywhere - certainly my request
to see it on a real platform rather than the ARM Ltd hardware seems to
have been "forgotten" about.

As it's taking soo long (it's getting to be a couple of years) to come
up with a DT implementation for a real machine, I can only think that
there must be some massive problem(s) with DT which makes it completely
unsuitable for use on ARM.
