The baseline really is our internal device tree representation.
Everything else should be generated from it.

Non-x86 has been kept rather clean from ACPI, MP, pirq. They did not
spend the time to invent the same information passing 3 times ;-)

Those platforms rather offer an IEEE 1275-1994 interface (which is
binary+callback, all evil combined, but it is well proven)
