Ok.

This is intended to be used to link between devices. An OF implementation 
would probably use a phandle. I may rename to device/object to clarify.

The ESP DMA bits where we pass function pointers are a temporary hack, and 
should go away.

I guess I'll either use an informative suffix (like OF/FDT), or have separate 
type and instance name.
