You cannot simply reuse that code, since the internal
structure of OpenBIOS is different from OBP here; but
yes, the algorithm should skip the interposed nodes.
Not sure if ihandle>phandle is the right place though,
that one is probably used in places where you _do_ want
to look at the interposed nodes as well; I don't
remember what the interposition doc says, but I guess
it should be done in instance-to-package in the client
interface only?
