The memory allocated as secret is removed from the direct map and the
boot time reservation is intended to reduce direct map fragmentatioan
and to avoid splitting 1G pages there. So with CMA I'd still need to
allocate 1G chunks for this and once 1G page is dropped from the direct
map it still cannot be reused for anything else until it is freed.
I could use CMA to do the boot time reservation, but doing the
reservesion directly seemed simpler and more explicit to me.
