Right now we're using uboot, but the plan is to port and continue
using OFW.  (OFW is already running on ARM, so the only porting
needed is for our devices and board setup.)

We don't have a plan yet, but I think VKB just became the top
candidate.  :)  The MeeGo UI looks interesting in general, I've
been wondering which API it's using to handle multitouch input.
