Okay, I could probe the southbridge's PCI interrupt registers to fill in
some of the interrupt routing information from the bootwrapper.

Well, then I'll copy and paste from the CHRP/Pegasos PCI setup code,
which should exactly do that. :-)

Hmm, strange. I'm sure I found this in another device tree. I define
"whole PCI space" as PCI (prefetchable) memory and PCI I/O space.

AFAIK it's the device number, which is 0 for this host/PCI bridge.

Uh, yeah! I thought I fixed all these typos. You're right, I didn't try
to compile the device tree yet.

Okay, that would be dma-controller at 0, interrupt-controller at 20 and so.
Will be fixed!

I hoped the class-code property is enough for a PCI device, as it
clearly identifies this device as a PCI IDE conroller with primary and
secondary master functionality.

Thanks!
