There is unfortunately a relatively large legacy base of existing tools which depend on the device-tree (specifically, the representation of the OF device tree that the kernel generates at boot-time) present in proc, especially on platforms (PowerPC/Sparc) which have a real OpenFirmware implementation.
On the other hand, since this is a new port, we can just assume that (for this port) we're going to fix the tools to use a different path.
