Subject: [PATCH] x86: OLPC: some olpc-detection cleanups

Following up on dsd's cleanups (3e3c4860), address some minor nits:

 - rename check_ofw_arch to olpc_check_arch (as we're checking for OLPC)
 - add a comment describing why we're checking..
 - use sizeof(array) rather than hardcoding the size
 - sprinkle some parens around
