mach-virt has existed for a while but it is not written down what it actually consists of. Although it seems a bit unusual to document a binding for an entire platform since mach-virt is entirely virtual it is helpful to have something to refer to in the absence of a single concrete implementation. I've done my best to capture the requirements based on the git log and my memory/understanding. While here remove the xenvm dts example, the Xen tools will now build a suitable mach-virt compatible dts when launching the guest.
It might be worth noting in the changeset comment that the 'compatible' string is actually no longer needed on newer kernels: All the members of the machine descriptor are now the defaults (we should remove the virt_init() function as well), and the fallback machine descriptor should work just fine if any other string gets passed.
