Some VM functions need to acquire Gunyah resources. For instance, Gunyah
vCPUs are exposed to the host as a resource. The Gunyah vCPU function
will register a resource ticket and be able to interact with the
hypervisor once the resource ticket is filled.

Resource tickets are the mechanism for functions to acquire ownership of
Gunyah resources. Gunyah functions can be created before the VM's
resources are created and made available to Linux. A resource ticket
identifies a type of resource and a label of a resource which the ticket
holder is interested in.

Resources are created by Gunyah as configured in the VM's devicetree
configuration. Gunyah doesn't process the label and that makes it
possible for userspace to create multiple resources with the same label.
Resource ticket owners need to be prepared for populate to be called
multiple times if userspace created multiple resources with the same
label.

Looks good to me.
