Ugh. What a mess the whole child device parsing is.

What's really broken in the current code is *assuming* some expected
size for future versions, *and* then refusing to parse if the child dev
size has grown. We should just parse *up to* min(VBT reported child dev
size, the biggest child dev we know about). The current code keeps us
doing busywork whenever someone decides to add a field at the end.

Side note, we have *two* functions and loops iterating child
devices. One for new stuff and another for old stuff. Yay.
