+Device Assignment
+=================
+
+Device Assignment (Passthrough) is supported by adding another module,
+alongside the kernel and ramdisk, with the device tree fragment
+corresponding to the device node to assign to the guest.
+
+The dtb sub-node should have the following properties:
+
+- compatible
+
+ "multiboot,device-tree" and "multiboot,module"
+
+- reg
+
+ Specifies the physical address of the device tree binary fragment
+ RAM and its length.
+
+As an example:
+
+ module@0xc000000 {
+ compatible = "multiboot,device-tree", "multiboot,module";
+ reg = <0x0 0xc000000 0xffffff>;
+ };
+
+The DTB fragment is loaded at 0xc000000 in the example above. It should
+follow the convention explained in docs/misc/arm/passthrough.txt. The
+DTB fragment will be added to the guest device tree, so that the guest
+kernel will be able to discover the device.

See man [xl.cfg] for the iomem format. The reg property is just a pair
of address, then size numbers, each of them can occupy 1 or 2 cells.
+
+Dom0-less Device Passthrough
+============================
+
+The partial device tree for dom0-less guests should have the following
+properties for each node corresponding to a physical device to assign to
+the guest:
+
+- xen,reg
+
+ The xen,reg property is an array of:
+
+ <phys_addr size guest_addr>
+
+ They specify the physical address and size of the device memory
+ ranges together with the corresponding guest address to map them to.
+ The size of `phys_addr' and `guest_addr' is determined by
+ #address-cells, the size of `size' is determined by #size-cells, of
+ the partial device tree.
+ The memory will be mapped as device memory in the guest (Device-nGnRE).
+
+- xen,path
+
+ A string property representing the path in the host device tree to the
+ corresponding device node.
+
+In addition, a special /gic node is expected as a placeholder for the
+full GIC node that will be added by Xen for the guest. /gic can be
+referenced by other properties in the device tree fragment. For
+instance, it can be referenced by interrupt-parent under a device node.
+Xen will take care of replacing the "gic" placeholder node for a
+complete GIC node while retaining all the references correctly. The new
+GIC node created by Xen is a regular interrupt-controller@<unit> node.
+
+ gic: gic {
+ #interrupt-cells = <0x3>;
+ interrupt-controller;
+ };
+
+Note that the #interrupt-cells and interrupt-controller properties are
+not actually required, however, DTC expects them to be present if gic is
+referenced by interrupt-parent or similar.
+
