The GICv2 can have virtualization extension support, consisting
of an additional set of registers and interrupts. Add the necessary
binding to the GIC DT documentation.

+* GIC virtualization extensions (VGIC)
+
+For ARM cores that support the virtualization extensions, an
+additional node describes the VGIC hardware block. Only exists if the
+GIC is the primary interrupt controller.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : should be one of:
+ "arm,cortex-a15-vgic"
+ "arm,cortex-a7-vgic"
+ "arm,vgic"
+
+- reg : Specifies base physical address and size of the VGIC
+ registers. The first region is the GIC virtual interface control
+ register base and size. the 2nd region is the GIC virtual cpu
+ interface register base and size.
+
+- interrupts : VGIC maintainance interrupt. Must be relative to the
+ primary GIC.
+
+Example:
+
+ vgic at 2c004000 {
+ compatible = "arm,cortex-a15-vgic", "arm,vgic";
+ reg = <0x2c004000 0x2000>,
+ <0x2c006000 0x2000>;
+ interrupts = <1 9 0xf04>;
+ };
