unsupported nodetype e009

A friend of mine has a G1G1 XO-1 that he got Dec 2007.  I help him to
install reasonably-up-to-date software - his system currently has q2e43e
and os11.  [BTW, he normally does not power off his XO, but leaves it
sit forever with the lid closed and AC plugged in - with papers stacked
on top.  I've seen his system be warm to the touch.]

It is quite rare that I observe his XO being booted -- but I do not
recall ever seeing the "unsupported nodetype e009" message.  For the fun
of it, I added the four lines at the beginning of his olpc.fth that
caused the XO to be overclocked (to now 462 Mhz) -- and now I *did* see
several of those messages while booting his XO.  [Neither those
messages, nor the overclocking, appeared to affect the operation of the
XO.  (My reason for applying a mild overclock was that Timidity was
running the default-speed XO at more than 85% average CPU utilization -
I wanted to create some "head room" by speeding up the CPU).]

IIRC, Yioryos has his XO-1 overclocked.  As the above-described
experience shows, it is likely that the "unsupported nodetype e009"
message is being brought on by the use of overclocking.
