The new binding is being made fundamental. If the reserved-memory node
is present, then it needs to be honored, even if the kernel doesn't know
how to use the regions. Therefore, This needs to be unconditional for
all architectures. The hook should be called in early_init_dt_scan()
(drivers/of/fdt.c) immediately after the early_init_dt_scan_memory()
hook.
