Introduce Xen specific binding for the virtualized device (e.g. virtio)
to be used by Xen grant DMA-mapping layer in the subsequent commit.
This binding indicates that Xen grant mappings scheme needs to be
enabled for the device which DT node contains that property and specifies
the ID of Xen domain where the corresponding backend resides. The ID
(domid) is used as an argument to the grant mapping APIs.
This is needed for the option to restrict memory access using Xen grant
mappings to work which primary goal is to enable using virtio devices
in Xen guests.

Do we really need to support this property everywhere?
From my understanding - yes.
As, I think, any device node describing virtulized device in the guest
device tree can have this property. Initially (in the RFC series) the
"solution to restrict memory access using Xen grant mappings" was
virtio-specific.
Although the support of virtio is a primary target of this series, we
decided to generalize this work and expand it to any device [1]. So the
Xen grant mappings scheme (this property to be used for) can be
theoretically used for any device emulated by the Xen backend.

This fails validation:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/xen,dev-domid.example.dtb: virtio_block@3000: xen,dev-domid: [[1]] is not of type 'object'
From schema: /home/rob/proj/git/linux-dt/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/virtio/mmio.yaml
Thank you for pointing this out, my fault, I haven't "properly" checked
this before. I think, we need to remove "compatible = "virtio,mmio"; here

The property has to be added to the virtio/mmio.yaml schema. If it is
not needed elsewhere, then *just* add the property there.
As I described above, the property is not virtio specific and can be
used for any virtualized device for which Xen grant mappings scheme
needs to be enabled (xen-grant DMA-mapping layer).
