to check the status property in their probe routines.
Simplebus used to only instantiate its children whose status="okay"
but that was improper behavior, fixed in r261352. Now that it doesn't
check anymore and probes all its children; the children all have to
do the check because really only the children know how to properly
interpret their status property strings.
Right now all existing drivers only understand "okay" versus something-
that's-not-okay, so they all use the new ofw_bus_status_okay() helper.

Implement a driver for Robert Norton's PIC as an FDT interrupt
controller. Devices whose interrupt-parent property points to a beripic
device will have their interrupt allocation, activation , and setup
operations routed through the IC rather than down the traditional bus
hierarchy.
This driver largely abstracts the underlying CPU away allowing the
PIC to be implemented on CPU's other than BERI. Due to insufficient
abstractions a small amount of MIPS specific code is currently required
in fdt_mips.c and to implement counters.
