Subject: [PATCH 3/3] OLPC: Extend BIOS signature check

The XO-1.5 laptop is not currently detected as an OLPC machine because
it fails this XO-1-centric check.

Now that we have OLPC OFW support in the kernel, a more sensible check is
to see if we found OFW during boot. This also eliminates the need to check
the BIOS signature, since we trust the detection code in olpc_ofw.c

Also remove a now-meaningless codepath, as we're always going to have
OFW support with OLPC.
