Why would we call this without a frame?

... or without a node?

... BANG! (we check base too late, below).

Please as Marc requested several versions ago: split the FW parsing
(ACPI and DT) so that happens first, *then* once we have the data in a
common format, use that to drive poking the HW, requesting IRQs, etc,
completely independent of the source.

In patches, do this by:

(1) adding the data structures
(2) splitting the existing DT probing to use them
(3) Adding ACPI functionality atop

We want to check this for ACPI too, no?

Thanks,
