When Linux is booted as a guest under the Gunyah hypervisor, the Gunyah
Resource Manager applies a devicetree overlay describing the virtual
platform configuration of the guest VM, such as the message queue
capability IDs for communicating with the Resource Manager. This
information is not otherwise discoverable by a VM: the Gunyah hypervisor
core does not provide a direct interface to discover capability IDs nor
a way to communicate with RM without having already known the
corresponding message queue capability ID. Add the DT bindings that
Gunyah adheres for the hypervisor node and message queues.

Rob has reviewed this so I presume it's fine, but I wonder
why there's no "qcom," prefix on the compatible strings.

It also seems like there might be more bindings to define
for Gunyah. See a few more comments below.

Looking at dto_create_msg_queue() at the above link, it seems
that Gunyah message queues and capabilities get represented
in DTS, but I don't see those things documented in bindings.
I might be misinterpreting that code, but if not, should
these other things be documented as well?

Should this be qcom,gunyah-hypervisor?
