This makes the overall code much simpler, since instead of passing get-info structures between the different layers to work out
the current device offset, each package can simply maintain its own offsets and bubble them back up to the parent.
There are also many, many bugfixes present is patch, some of which are given below:
- Add debugging in /packages/misc-files, augment debugging in all other disk packages
- Fix alignment issue in /packages/pc-parts so it works correctly on strictly align archs, e.g. SPARC64
- Fix parsing of [<id>,][filename] arguments to load (in preparation for next patch set)
- Fix byte-swapping issues in /packages/mac-parts (in theory it should now work regardless of endian)

Otherwise, they won't compile with gcc 4.4. Fixing the code would
require massive changes, which is not practical for the code taken from
another project.

Yaboot relies on the read function from openbios to stop reading at the
end of a file. This patch makes sure to not read beyond the end of the
file. This fixes the boot of debian-installer using a CD-ROM.

Fix warnings that would be caused by gcc flag -Wwrite-strings and
-Wmissing-prototypes. Also fix most PPC specific warnings.

This openbios-grubfs-ext2fs-block.patch fixes a problem where inode
pointer is truncated to 32bit integer and then sign-extended to 64bit
integer while passing second pointer argument to ext2_rdfsb.

The current SVN version currently fails to work on machines that have
strict alignment requirements, for example the SPARC target. This is due
to the way the struct fat_bpb in fs/grubfs/fat.h is defined and accessed
(through FAT_CVT_U16) to avoid padding. Some 16 bits fields like
bytes_per_sect are thus accessed unaligned.
The patch below takes the same approach as for other structures in
openbios, it declares the structure as packed, and lets GCC do the right
things to access those unaligned field.
