Do you rely on this direct pointer in performance critical locations ?

One thing I want to do sooner or later on ppc32 and possibly ppc64 as
well is to get rid of all fields in the device_node except the actual
link pointers and the property list. Additional infos would then be
added to device nodes by adding properties. For example, I plan to
replace the n_interrupts & interrupts array with a "linux,irq"
property.
