Since we discussed a lot on this, let's make a conclusion on it. 1. UEFI could append the reserved buffer in it's memory mapping. 2. These reserved buffer must be declared in DT, since we also need to support non-UEFI (uboot) at the same time. 3. Mailbox node should reference reserved buffer by phandle in DT. Then map the buffer as non-cacheable in driver. 4. These reserved buffer must use "no-map" property since it should be non-cacheable in driver. 5. A patch is necessary in kernel. If efi stub feature is enabled, arm kernel should not parse memory node or reserved memory buffer in DT any more. Arm kernel should either fetch memory information from efi or DT. Currently arm kernel fetch both efi memory information and reserved buffer from DTB at the same time. Do you agree on these points?
