Hi Stefan,

Please see:

git://developer.petalogix.com/public/qemu.git for-stefan/fdt-generic.next

Its a generic machine model that creates an arbitrary machine from a
dtb. Yes, the work has many issues, some already discussed on the
mailing list, but it illustrates the issue with block. Top commit I
add some comments re this discussion. git diff HEAD^ will show you
where to look in the code.

Regards,
Peter
