no-map *is* EfiRuntimeServicesData in the DT spec; the problem is that
OpenSBI isn’t marking it no-map, but has nothing in its place to mark
it as “you can map it but you really cannot touch it”; normally
reserved memory is “don’t treat it as normal memory but you can use it
for specific purposes (e.g. DMA memory pool)”, so it gets treated as
the latter (what that state has always meant) despite definitely not
being that. Or, to put it another way, OpenSBI went from something that
was correct-but-slow to something that is incorrect-but-fast and the
consumers of the FDT are now paying the price for its brokenness. So we
need some other approach that isn’t incorrect by definition.
