A usefdt boot-mode problem: openfirmware->fdt translation use vs. some existing powerpc64 or powerpc FreeBSD code, interrupt-parent examples shown

[I tried adjusting one thing that I'd listed and it let the
PowerMac7.2 get farther into the boot sequence without messing
up the PowerMac11,2 or PowerMac3,6 booting.]

[Note: The above guess work for piclist[?].node seems to be wrong.]

I adjusted to be using the following in unin_chip_add_intr :

# svnlite diff /usr/src/sys/powerpc/powermac/uninorth.c
Index: /usr/src/sys/powerpc/powermac/uninorth.c

 	    <= 0)
 		icells = 1;
 

This get farther into the boot sequence:

But boot_run_interrupt_driven_config_hooks never reports "done.".
