Hi Rob/ Krzysztof,

I am happy to update the documentation as requested. Please note
that, apart from CPUs, there is no other device node in the tree.

Here are some of the info related to our system:

Timers:
VMBus code uses a Hyper-V Synthetic timer and there is no device tree
node or ACPI method required for this. This is implemented as
drivers/clocksource/hyperv_timer.c

Interrupt controller:
The hypervisor virtualizes interrupt delivery to virtual processors.
This is done through the use of a synthetic interrupt controller
(SynIC) which is an extension of a virtualized local APIC. In the cpu
DT nodes we have APIC ids.

Below are the cpu nodes we use, please suggest if I need to update any
document for it.
	cpus {
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <0>;

		cpu@0 {
			device_type = "cpu";
			reg = <0>;
			status = "okay";
		};

		cpu@1 {
			device_type = "cpu";
			reg = <1>;
			status = "okay";
		};
	};

Regards,
Saurabh
