Primarily because that device pci_domain needs some chip to sit in.

And because the methods for the pci_domain are closely related
to the code that looks at the rest of the chipset.

So in short what we are currently doing his the least strange
method I have found to model the reality.

It might help to think that the device tree is from the perspective of cpu 0.
