Followed the existing DeviceTree's of naming and approaches in the 
kernel to surprise less and "invent" even less. As for the spec, the 
Hyper-V TLFS'es part discussing Hypervisor Discovery talks about x86 
(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/tlfs/feature-discovery) 
only and via the ISA-provided means only. For arm64, Hyper-V code 
discovers the hypervisor presence via ACPI. Felt only natural to do the 
same for DeviceTree and arm64.

Have not added, my mistake. Will place under 
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/bus/microsoft,hyperv.yaml
