hmm, but I don't see how to get then access to the reserved part. As can be 
seen in patch 4 [which I've forgotton to cc you in, sorry] the smp-trampoline 
gets copied into this area for the core to execute after poweron, so I need to 
get the mapped representation of the reserved area.

Or do you mean

- let mmio-sram only allocate the non-reserved spaces for itself
- grab mmio-sram node in the smp code and map the necessary reserved space

This might actually work.


Thanks
