Thank you -- I will replace SLOF with "openfirmware".
This also implies I shouldn't add "openbios" separately, which was
suggested earlier by Gerd -- according to
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenBIOS>;, OpenBIOS is another
implementation of OFW.
Right. Although I think OpenBIOS and SLOF support a disjoint set of
machines. Openhackware which is (was?) used on some machines is yet
another (very partial) openfirmware implementation.

Right, this is about interfaces, so I'll keep "uboot".
Ok. More specifically I guess this is about firmware <-> guest OS, and
firmware <-> interactive user interfaces. Firmware <-> qemu interfaces
(fw_cfg, device tree) are a different question.
