My hesistancy here is child nodes are already defined to be devices, not 
slots. That's generally the same thing though. However, 'reg' is a bit 
problematic as it includes the bus number which is dynamically 
assigned. (This is a mismatch between true OpenFirmware and FDT as OF 
was designed to populate the DT with what was discovered and that 
includes some runtime config such as bus number assignments.) Maybe we 
just say for FDT, the bus number is always 0 and ignored. In any case, 
there needs to be some thought on this as well as the more complicated 
case of devices needing device specific setup to be enumerated.
