Hmm. How?

Maybe I'm oversimplifying? I was thinking that:
(from your patch)

        cpus {
+               cpupath="0";

        apic {
                /config/("northbridge/amd/geodelx/apic");
+               apicpath="0,0,0";

                superio {
                        /config/("superio/winbond/w83627hf/dts");
+                       superiopath = "0x2e";


..it would be possible to determine resource type from the name of
the containing block. "cpus" => cpupath, "apic" => apicpath etc.
