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.

+The platform may also provide hypervisor specific functionality
+(e.g. PV I/O), if it does so then this functionality must be
+discoverable (directly or indirectly) via device tree.
While this is obviously true, I'm not sure I see the value of this text.

Isn't it more essential to just say that *any* functionality provided to
the platform must be discoverable via device tree?
