[PATCH v9 03/21] dt-bindings: hypervisor: Add MediaTek GenieZone hypervisor

From: "Yingshiuan Pan" <yingshiuan.pan at mediatek.com>

Add documentation for GenieZone(gzvm) node. This node informs gzvm
driver to start probing if geniezone hypervisor is available and
able to do virtual machine operations.

[Reason to use dt solution]
- The GenieZone hypervisor serves as a vendor model for facilitating
platform virtualization, with an implementation that is independent
from Linuxism.
- In contrast to the dt solution, our previous approach involved probing
via hypercall to determine the existence of our hypervisor. However, this
method raised concerns about potentially impacting all systems, including
those without the GenieZone hypervisor embedded[ref].

+description:
+  This interface is designed for integrating GenieZone hypervisor into Android
+  Virtualization Framework(AVF) along with Crosvm as a VMM.
+  It acts like a wrapper for every hypercall to GenieZone hypervisor in
+  order to control guest VM lifecycles and virtual interrupt injections.
