read_resources of an appropriate device now returns the information.

Everything (short of interrupts) is now done through the device tree.
The static device tree now uses the same nodes as the dynamic device tree.

It was not the intention to leave this for someone else to update.
The ppc ports were simply at the end of the list.  And beyond
that their structure does not much resemble the structure of
the other ports on x86.

Just glancing at the ppc code I have not seen an appropriate device
to attach the code to.

I was planning on looking into the powerpc code in the next couple of
days.  To see if I could sort this out.
