[PATCH]: Handle lettered OF path partitions on sparc64.

[David Miller]

OpenBoot uses ":a", ":b", etc. partition specifiers instead
of the numbered ":1", ":2", etc. that the generic ieee1275
code expects.

Instead of cruddng up the generic ieee1275 code with this,
just convert in the sparc64 specific code beforehand.

Committed.

        * kern/sparc64/ieee1275/init.c (grub_machine_set_prefix): If
        lettered partition specifier is found, convert to numbered.
