This is going to take up an awful lot of space.  Perhaps we should follwo ePAPR
and allow for common properties to go in /cpus (as I believe we do for arm). We
might not be able to do that for device_type given how we detect CPU nodes at
present, but we could certainly do it for the enable-method:

I don't believe we check the compatible string at the moment, so that should be
safe to make common too.
