On some 32-bit sparcs, the OF runs in non-cached memory.

Sucking in the OF device tree take a signficant amount of the
boot time on such systems.

And these changes are going to make it even slower.

Please just put a wrapper around dp->name or whatever and use that,
instead of making more get property OF calls which can be very
expensive.
