Definately the right direction, but some comments..

Why both cpus+cpupath and [EMAIL PROTECTED] ?

Why both [EMAIL PROTECTED] and apicpath?

How come both cpu and domain can be @0 ?

Yes, I know, the meaning of the path depends on the type. Wait, the
containing block type, or the new block type? It is too confusing!

What is the pcibus at? Could the number be optional when there is
only one? Rephrase: Is this the PCI bus number? Can we count on it
to always be 0-based and increase by one for each bus?

What's behind this PCI-PCI-bridge? Is this the external PCI bus?

(By the way, I think we should add a .dts suffix when we have several
files for a component.)

South, on PCI bus 0, south is device 0:f.0. Ok.

Now the path is an ioport.

Sorry, I just can't get my head around it. I fear a support problem
too, with the different path types looking very similar but being
quite different.

Which path types do we have so far?
