Its the same actual block from design. I'll think some on this. If
I had some macro support in the dtc I wouldn't feel so bad about
doing this. Its the edit/modify/fix cycle that's a pain.

upon further review and discussion you are right about dropping the
pci_bridge at 0 node from the ULI. However we do need to add a pcie at 0
node to cover the virtual P2P bridge in the PHB. So we have something
like:
pcie at ff808000 {
pcie at 0 {
uli at 0 {
}
}
}
