They _will_ but for now they don't and as such there a discrepancy between the
bindings and the code that was published in V6.  At this point you can either
drop the vrings in the DT or send another revision with the carveouts
allocated.  I would definitely prefer the latter because it wouldn't involve yet
another modification of the bindings.
