Ok, so I'd suggest doing something like:

 - pci is below the corresponding atom node
 - isa is a child of pci

The later is a useful representation even if it doesn't correspond to
reality. From an address representation perspective, ISA can be
considered somewhat as a substractive decoding child of PCI (again even
if that's not 100% true), which simplifies the representation in the
device-tree a bit, and allows to still have things like VGA devices on
the PCI segment that decode IO ports in the ISA range.

Cheers,
Ben.
