Update Documentation/vfio.txt with information regarding the device tree
based platform devices support.
What is still missing in this RFC series, is information on how to bind
the driver to platform devices, as there is currently for PCI. This will
be added when proper VFIO driver binding is implemented.

+For platform devices, if a device has multiple regions and multiple IRQs the
+index that will be assigned by VFIO to those resources will correspond to the
+order within the associated "reg" and "interrupt" properties in the device tree
+representation of the target device.
+
+For example, if a device is represented like this in the device tree:
+
+ reg = <0x101e2000 0x1000 0x101e4000 0x1000>;
+ interrupts = <24 25 26 27>;
+
+Region #0 is 0x101e2000, region #1 is 0x101e4000
+Interrupt #0 is 24, and so on.
+
+Additionally for a platform device, unlike PCI devices, an offset referring to
+a region within a VFIO device file descriptor will match the physical address
+of that region as defined in the device tree.
