"memory-mapped-memory" perhaps :-)

Or, just "memory".  Although that one might play havoc with some

I'd suggest "ram" and "rom" then. Luckily the device trees don't contain binding for the real RAM chips yet. :-)

not-quite-correct main memory probing code.

You mean the there's parsers that search the "compatible" prop for "memory" as well as "device_type" prop?

There are parsers that make all kinds of mistakes, sure.

The code that figures out what region of ram to use should look at the
node pointed to by /chosen/memory, it's shouldn't look for anything
with a certain "compatible", and it shouldn't look at "device_type"
_at all_.
