Actually.. this has been on my todo list for awhile now.

The correct way to do it is to pass it to oea_startup() as the sole argument. 
Take a look at prep/prep/machdep.c.

However, all that does is print the model name at boot.  We also should store
it in a model name global variable somewhere, so we can later use it in place of
the OFW searches we do everywhere.
