I'm still not okay with this patch. I don't think it is appropriate to
add the hook into the generic path that gets used for every platform
device. The devices that need reserved memory should explicitly request
it, and any setup be done at that time.

Okay... I thought that it will be easier to have it done in generic code, if You don't
think so, then I give up and we will add it in all drivers requiring such memory regions.

What about patch 3/4 and 4/4? Would it be possible to have your ack to get them merged?
Right now patch 4/4 depends on changes from akpm tree, so it will be best to merge them
to akpm tree.

Best regards
