Well, the current BT device in qemu can be configured on the command 
line, it also has a configurable irq number :

	-device ipmi-bmc-sim,id=bmc0 -device isa-ipmi-bt,bmc=bmc0,irq=10

So, it seems safer to let qemu populate the device tree depending 
on its qom-tree than allow skiboot to hardcode non existing devices.
