The version is incremented on backwards-incompatible API changes. It's 
an integer: I've updated the description to mention it's an integer. FYI 
-- we are still currently at "1" and not aiming to increment this 
number. I'd like to get it reported in sysfs in case the version is 
incremented later.

The kernel isn't parsing the reported build variant and is passing the 
reported value up to the sysfs node. If a new third variant comes along, 
its build variant number would be reported. Would it be preferred to 
instead link to Gunyah's definitions for the build variant?

The usecase I'm envisioning is to help user check what build of Gunyah 
is present on the host. We don't have any intention to require userspace 
(or kernel) to behave differently whether they are on Qualcomm-built 
Gunyah or the open-source Gunyah.

The UID is filled by the first 4 return registers of the hypercall. If 
running under some other hypervisor or no hypervisor is present, then 
our expectation is that the relevant handler would fill some error value 
that isn't the UUID.

KVM uses similar approach to allow guests to identify they are a KVM guest:

Xen and KVM guest drivers also report when they detect that they are 
running under a hypervisor. I'll drop this down to pr_info to match.
