The node has a compatible string, "xen,xen" per [1], which would tell us
absolutely that xen is present. I'd be happy checking for that
explicitly.
In patch 11 fdt_find_hyper_node checks the compatible string. We could
factor that out into a helper like is_xen_node(node) and use it here
too.
If in future we want to do the same for other hypervisors we can add
explicit checks for their compatible strings and/or wrap that in a more
generic helper to cater for any hypervisor-specific details.
Thanks,
Mark.
