Right. My thought was just that with the of_bus handler it might end up
being /easier/ to do the dynamic mapping than it is to preconfigure
it in the DT.

Whether that results in an optimum mapping or not depends on the actual
sizes for the child nodes. Since everything is a power-of-two size,
a first-fit algorithm actually isn't bad at all.
