I don't know how to put it in correctly right now.  There isn't a working
way to represent multiple busses from a single device in the dts.  Since I
can't test the 8151 (free version of SimNow), this is as complete as I can
make it.

I won't commit since I have to change the dtc code to make this work.

It doesn't.  I'm not sure how to do that. (See above.)

It seems like it.  The register in the routing table gets set up correctly.
I didn't have to mess with that to get it exactly the same as v2.

Thanks,
