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? -Christoffer
