Yes, from Cortex-m4 the same memory regions are aliased to different
address ranges to provide different cache optimizations.
From Cortex-A7 side - not. But on this side we don't care about meaning
of it, it is just some memory region.

Ok. Should only system memory region be assigned over reserved-memory or
all of named regions?
