It turns out to hang at the first SMC call, for PSCI_0_2_FN_PSCI_VERSION. I 
assume the receiver of that call, ATF, got dropped in that region by the 
vendor's U-Boot.

No it doesn't, was just trying to work out why not, in your 
fdt_check_mem_start().

Anyway that was Arnd's first suggestion, but I think his second suggestion 
(teach fdt_check_mem_start() about /memreserve/) is the cleaner approach to 
this. Opinions?
