Looking at arch/arm/boot/dts/vexpress-v2m-rs1.dtsi I don't think we
provide anything which is on rs1 though.

The Xen VM environment has only a gic (via a combination of the gic
virtualisation mode for CPU regs and emulation for the distributor), the
arch timers and xenbus (which is the s/w bus which Xen uses to discover
its paravirtualised peripherals).

Currently we provide a very simple output only emulation of UART0,
simply to get the debug output from the decompresser, but we want that
to go away not get baked in.
