That's the simplest way to do it, yes (and sometimes
the only way).  I believe for Linux you can get away
with not defining any of the standard PCI properties
in that new PCI node (well you need "reg" and very very
basic stuff like that, of course).

Exactly.  Please remember that "interrupts" here
is in the ipic domain and not in the PCI domain,
so get the # interrupt cells and the sense value
from the ipic.
