Introduce a device tree binding for Xen reserved-memory regions. They
are used to share memory across VMs from the VM config files. (See
static_shm config option.)

+* Xen hypervisor reserved-memory binding
+
+Expose one or more memory regions as reserved-memory to the guest
+virtual machine. Typically, a region is configured at VM creation time
+to be a shared memory area across multiple virtual machines for
+communication among them.
+
+For each of these pre-shared memory regions, a range is exposed under
+the /reserved-memory node as a child node. Each range sub-node is named
+xen-shmem@<address> and has the following properties:
+
+- compatible:
+       compatible = xen,shared-memory"
+
+- reg:
+       the base guest physical address and size of the shared memory region
+
+- id:
+       a string that identifies the shared memory region as specified in
+       the VM config file
