AFAIK, the root node needs to have the CPU which is using the DT. So,
the hierarchy will change based on CPU view (if we describe it fully).

How well we can reuse individual interconnect segments is something I
have to think about / experiment. Will have to be wary of any "short
paths" or "cross connections".
