That was what I thought too. Perhaps it is too subtle?

I bet my "xen: strip xen,multiboot-module nodes from dom0 device tree"
patch changes this invariant. Better to make it explicitly walk
backwards now I think. (or maybe set things for level in
last_depth..depth). I'll change things along these lines.
