    Add the drivers/virt directory, which houses drivers that support
    virtualization environments, and add the Freescale hypervisor management
    driver.
    
    The Freescale hypervisor management driver provides several services to
    drivers and applications related to the Freescale hypervisor:
    
    1. An ioctl interface for querying and managing partitions
    
    2. A file interface to reading incoming doorbells
    
    3. An interrupt handler for shutting down the partition upon receiving the
       shutdown doorbell from a manager partition
    
    4. A kernel interface for receiving callbacks when a managed partition
       shuts down.
