Not so far, but my monitor now has a sticky note telling me to look into
it. :)

Many of the useful properties provided by SBSA are already described
elsewhere (e.g. page and ASID size can be found in ID registers), and
hardware properties it mandates (e.g. PPI assignment for level 2
compliant systems) will be described elsewhere.

I'll have to read the spec in more detail to figure out what we can
derive from an SBSA compliance property. Regardless it probably makes
sense to have a compatible string or other property on the root node; at
worst it only costs us a few bytes.

Thanks,
Mark.
