At least the qemu model has the primecell ID only for actual sp804 but
not for the integrator, see http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=blob;f=hw/arm_timer.c

Interesting point. I remember we had a discussion about this when the
initial binding integrator code was merged, but I don't remember what
the intent was for doing it like this. Probably just minimizing the
changes to the existing code.
