Hmm. Device tree is coming to ARM, but just at the moment it's
generally one-kernel-one-machine still. (We've only just gained the
ability to compile one kernel for both UP and SMP...)
I kind of think you're still defining a "machine", you're just doing it
in your device tree blob rather than in C.
