So if I have some device-tree path and want to find the sysfs node
for it or run something like lspci on it, I have to search all of
sysfs for a matching devspec file?  (And this can change each boot.)

Without looking at the mentioned utilities, DLPAR and PCI Hotplug get a 
location code, so I'm hoping that the pci slot name is identified by 
that.  Is lsvpd scanning?  Or does it scan sysfs first and 
/proc/device-tree secondarly?
