On a related note should /hypervisor contain #interrupt-cells = <3> ?
We use "interrupts = <1 15 0xf08>" so it is somewhat implicit, butsince
the parent doesn't have anything explicit this it will default to
$somethingelse (0)? 

Should Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/xen.txt also reference
gic.txt for the meaning of the fields, or are we free to define our own
meaning?

We need to get a canonical copy of this binding doc into the hypervisor
tree too.

Ian.
