I can't find it there.  I'm looking at version 1.0; maybe it's
in a newer version that I don't have?  It's not in the PAPR
either (the "open" version, anyway).

Sure.  "Just look for the MPIC node and use it with one ISU" won't
work on an actual Maple anyway afaics, it won't find the right
base address for it in its device tree.

I'll make something nice that maybe even you will like ;-)

Exactly.  All "real" OpenPICs don't; let's just recognise that fact.
