from http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/16/350:
|"intel,ioapic" is probably too generic and can be dropped. Newer |devices can claim compatibility with "intel,ioapic-ce4100" if they are |indeed compatible so that device drivers don't need to be modified. |It is better to anchor compatible values to real implementations that |try to come up with 'generic' or wildcard strings. Ditto through the |rest of the file.
