I completely agree, in fact that was my initial idea too.

But when I had a look at powerpc implementation of "of_get_cpu_node" in
arch/powerpc/kernel/prom.c, it looked like PPC is using some
compatibles(e.g. ibm,ppc-interrupt-server#s) which are not specified in
ePAPR. I am not sure is that's allowed or not, if allowed then we can't
have generic of_get_cpu_node with just arch specific hwid matching function.

Let me know how would you prefer me to proceed on this.

Regards,
Sudeep
