From: Oleksandr Tyshchenko <oleksandr_tyshchenko at epam.com>

Introduce Xen specific binding for the virtio-mmio device to be used
by Xen virtio support driver in a subsequent commit.

This binding specifies the ID of Xen domain where the corresponding
device (backend) resides. This is needed for the option to restrict
memory access using Xen grant mappings to work.

+  This binding specifies the ID of Xen domain where the corresponding device
+  (backend) resides. This is needed for the option to restrict memory access
+  using Xen grant mappings to work.
+
+  Note that current and generic "iommus" bindings are mutually exclusive, since
+  the restricted memory access model on Xen behaves as a kind of software IOMMU.
