If you can get these changes into the kernel's copy of the DT, then this
patch is fine. If not, I don't think we should take this patch. The very
definition of DT is a SW-stack-agnostic data structure. Modifying it on
a per-SW-stack basis means we aren't doing DT, but rather something that
looks like DT but isn't. In that case, we shouldn't call it DT.
