As this is changing the semantic of an "empty" DT, we should consider
now if there's anything else that might also need to exist in an "empty"
DT. We don't want to change this again in future if we don't have to,
given the compatiblity nightmare that's sure to result.

We should also consider if the "hypervisor" node name is sufficient (I
think it is, but let's not assume anything).

From Xen point of view I think it is enough: real hardware is described
in ACPI anyway and anything hypervisor related can be done via
hypercalls once Xen support is discovered, for which the hypervisor node
is sufficient.

Yes, I think the hypervisor node is sufficient for current Xen ACPI support.
