We'll still need most of the DT bits that are there at the minute (the
ones strewn around the subsystems) AFAICT since it's at the point where
we parse the DT and work out what the dependencies are which we probably
want to do prior to getting the drivers up and will be different for
ACPI.  I think the level of DT dependency here looks a lot larger than
it actually is due to the fact that a lot of what's being modified is DT
parsing code.
