I'm basically asking if we can and want to access some sort of tree this early on?
I don't see a need. Early in stage1 you are doing very little with a very small number of devices, and you pretty much know what and where they are. I just don't see the need to add the huge amount of code it would add. I see the beauty of it, but sometimes things can get overdesigned. This is one such case.
Consider that on the m57sli, which is a pretty complicated platform, we touch 0:18.x and 0:19.x usb config space smbus config space
All of which are known to be there and known as to what they are. I think we should be very careful to clutter up stage 1-- it's supposed to be very short and limited and finished quickly.
Bootstraps are always kind of ugly, and stage1 is the ugly bootstrap. Thanks
