Compare with how HT (doesn't) works, or with PCI.

That's exactly what I disagree with. There is an architecture and I
would expect coreboot to model it rather than dumping an array of
magic number pairs into index/data.

The coreboot devicetree doesn't model HT so well - it is treated as
"another address space". I think it would be better to avoid
repeating such a mistake?
