from http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/16/350:

|"intel,ioapic" is probably too generic and can be dropped.  Newer
|devices can claim compatibility with "intel,ioapic-ce4100" if they are
|indeed compatible so that device drivers don't need to be modified.
|It is better to anchor compatible values to real implementations that
|try to come up with 'generic' or wildcard strings.  Ditto through the
|rest of the file.
