This has the side effect of moving all devices at the root of the tree
from /sys/devices/ to /sys/devices/platform. It also has the possibility
of breaking if any devices get registered with overlapping regions. I
think there are some powerpc 5200 boards that do this, and I'm not sure
about the larger Power boxen.

I've got a more nuanced version of this patch that I'm trying to get
published today for review. I'll add you to the cc list.
