Yeah, I guess that's most commonly needed for the /memory nodes -- having
devices with more than 4GB of register space is quite unusual.

It doesn't really matter much, but it saves some padding of 0s if you
pick a smaller value.

I thought we used 2/1 for address/size-cells on PA Semi hardware, but I just
checked and we had 2/2. Maybe it was Apple that used 2/1.

Anyway, no big deal.
