I'm not 100% comfortable with this but if we really want to avoid
changing kernel code that moves into U-Boot it is either this or a
'#define device ldevice' at the top of the linux code/in a header. I'm
not sure which is preferable.

If Tom decides to apply this, I'd like to request that it be done
soon, since it has wide impact on driver model code.
