Uh.. where are the CPUs?
The number and type of CPUs can be (and is) probed.  There is an
existing mechanism for the bootloader to communicate which CPUs
should be used.
Hrm, ok.

Grant,

We've seen this now on both MIPS and ARM - dts files with no cpus, on
the grounds that those can be runtime probed.  I guess it makes sense,
although a dts without cpus looks very, very odd to me.  What are your
thoughts on this?
