On ARM, every non-PCI device are described in the device tree. Each of them
can be found via a path.

This path will be used to retrieved the different informations about the
device (compatible string, interrupts, MMIOs). Libxl will take care of:
     - Allocate the MMIOs regions for the device in the guest
     - Create the device node in the guest device tree
     - Map the IRQs and MMIOs range in the guest P2M

Note, that the device node won't contains specific properties for the node.
Only generic one (compatible, interrupts, regs) will be created by libxl.

In the future, per-device properties will be added. Maybe via a configuration
file listing what is needed.

     Changes in v2:
         - Get DT infos earlier
         - Allocate/map IRQ in libxl__arch_domain_create rather than in
         libxl__device_dt_add

I understand why you moved it earlier but if it is not too hard I would
suggest to try to keep mmio and irq mapping all together, because it
would make the code much easier to read and modify in the future, being
all in one place.

I could fixup the device tree later. So we don't have to "map/retrieve"
the IRQ earlier.

But I don't much like this solution.

Urgh, that's horrible. I'll leave it to Ian to decide what's best.

I think I found a way to avoid this hackish code. We could let the toolstack decides of the VIRQ number.
