Would it be possible to split out the DT support from the underlying
bus?  Looking at the code it seems like we're relying on DT for a lot of
the functionality when it comes to mapping devices into the system but
that doesn't really meet what I'm looking for.  One of the use cases I
have is supporting modules which can be used with multiple systems so I
really want to be able to just define the modules once and then have a
layer in the subsystem which remaps the connections onto the actual
hardware.
