I don't like that, I prefer /i440fx over /devices/i440fx. I don't mind
the other root-level nodes though.

For PC-style machines I'd expect board-level stuff like the CPUs to
appear directly under /. That would roughly correspond to the
OpenFirmware device tree then. For embedded devices with SoCs I expect
them to show up as child<>s of the SoC, but definitely not under some
artificial /cpus.
