I think you need to convert some more interesting machines before it's 
possible to tell whether this is a sane setup. When investigating FDTs for 
creation of machine I found it's easy to invent something that can handle the 
simple integrator/cp board, but it all starts to fall apart when you encounter 
more complicated boards. In particular things like PCI, USB, I2C, etc. and 
strange bus configurations when you have both on-chip and external devices.
