Hi Konrad,

There was discussion about the reserved memory in QCS8550 change.
And the conclusion is that reserved memory regions which aren't relevant to
the kernel(like the hypervisor region) don't need to be described in DT to avoid
memory map change and update frequently. These regions will be runtime added
through bootloader.

The bootloader we currently use for Kaanapali has not supported this, and we have
solutions like add temp change to add these in DTS until the final bootloader is
provided.

Thanks,
Jingyi
