Can you give me a DTS example or code segment? I'm ambiguous about
what you said. 

Well, you would have to look at a cell blade or pSeries machine
device-tree, I don't have one at hand in DTS form... but basically,
those don't have a 1:1 relationship between hosts and nodes.

Anyway, I discussed with Michael today and it might be a good idea to
provide an optional device node field in the host struct that can be
used by the majority of the PICs that have one host == one node, that
would provide a good default for the name() function.
