This is easy to support.
This also assumes that the memory has already been

memmap= kernel option marks the memory region(s) as reserved (Zone
Allocator doesn't use this memory region(s)). So the heap(s) may manage
this memory region(s).

I will add the multiple heaps support and resubmit the patch
