The Devicetree specification skips over handling of a logical view of the memory map, pointing users to the UEFI specification.
It is common to split firmware into 'Platform Init', which does the initial hardware setup and a "Payload" which selects the OS to be booted. Thus an handover interface is required between these two pieces.
Where UEFI boot-time services are not available, but UEFI firmware is present on either side of this interface, information about memory usage and attributes must be presented to the "Payload" in some form.
This aims to provide an initial schema for this mapping.
Note that this is separate from the existing /memory and /reserved-memory nodes, since it is mostly concerned with what the memory is used for. It may cover only a small fraction of available memory.
For now, no attempt is made to create an exhaustive binding, so there are some example types listed. This can be completed once this has passed initial review.
The compatible string is not included, since the node name is enough to indicate the purpose of a node, as per the existing reserved-memory schema.
This binding does not include a binding for the memory 'attribute' property, defined by EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.GetMemoryMap(). It may be useful to have that as well, but perhaps not as a bit mask.
