These needs to be documented in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ and
should be sent to the devicetree-discuss mailing list for review.

The node should be called 'hypervisor' I think.

The first word of the compatible string is the vendor/organization that
defined the binding so should be "xen" here.  This does give a odd
looking "xen,xen" but we'll have to live with that.

I'd suggest that the DT provided by the hypervisor or tools give the
hypercall ABI version in the compatible string as well.  e.g.,

hypervisor {
    compatible = "xen,xen-4.3", "xen,xen"
};

I missed the Xen patch that adds this node for dom0.  Can you point me
to it?
