ofpath / ybin fix for Kernel 3.8.8-gentoo on G5

[Odiseus]

Hi,

today I tried 3.8.8-gentoo and could actually boot my Powermac G5.
Thanx a lot Phileas Fogg!

ybin didn't work though because it couldn't get the openfirmware path.
ybin uses ofpath for that purpose:

# ofpath /dev/sdb2
cat: /sys/devices/pci0001:00/0001:00:09.0/0001:03:0c.0/ata2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/../../../devspec: No such file or directory
Unable to determine controller path!

I changed ofpath:

# diff old-ofpath ofpath
89c89
< sd*|sg*|sr*) CONTROLLER_PATH=$(cat ${DEVPATH}/../../../devspec) ;;
---
> sd*|sg*|sr*) CONTROLLER_PATH=$(cat ${DEVPATH}/../../../../devspec) ;;

For now it works for me, but should the kernel get changed?

I'll have to look, but ofpath probably needs to be fixed again. We've had problems with the path changing in the past and breaking it.
