These refer to things that exist in the OF device tree but for which
the kernel has no driver that claims them.

For slavioconfig and power-management, this is (AIUI) normal.

For SUNW,bpp, this means that your kernel has the bpp driver disabled,
which in turn means your parallel port is not usable.  (Whether this is
a bad thing, of course, depends on whether you want to use it.)
