As Mark said, not ARM specific. So please move to bindings/misc/ and
use the compatible string for the name (qemu,pvpanic-mmio.txt).

I have to wonder why we need a QEMU specific way to signal a panic.
What about every real platform that panics? What are they supposed to
do? Shouldn't this be a PSCI call so we can have something not per
platform?
