Given this, maybe it should modify
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/virtio/virtio-device.yaml? Or actually
add a new Documentation/devicetree/bindings/virtio/uml.yaml I guess?

+Rob, because I'm not really into any of this.

Also, I'm not even sure we should/need to document the DT bits that are
basically only used for testing in the first place?

Code looks good to me.
