Yeah, I don't think that is a good idea anymore. I think this is part
of why we're having so many problems with qdev.
While (most?) hardware hierarchies can be represented by device tree
syntax, not all valid device trees correspond to interface and/or useful
hardware hierarchies.
We want to have an interface to create large chunks of hardware (like an
i440fx) which then results in a significant portion of a device tree.
