The commit message just doesn’t make sense to me, it switches between
talking about I/O space and memory (same applies to the comments in the
code). Is this reserving I/O parts of the address space so
SYS_RES_MEMORY doesn’t include them (which doesn’t *belong* to physical
memory, just resides in the same address space), reserving
FDT/ACPI-reserved actual RAM memory regions so SYS_RES_MEMORY doesn’t
include them (which isn’t I/O space), or both? Currently it reads to me
as describing part of one and part of the other, but neither fully.
