The only problem I can see here is if "ac" is not 1, that will not work
for the ibm,ppc-interrupt-server#s case. IE. The latter is always 1 cell
per entry, only "reg" depends on #address-cells.

However that's only a theorical problem since on ppc #address-cells of
/cpus is always 1...

Cheers,
Ben.
