Yes, this is not the regular DDR that is mapped into kernel normally,
but is a RAM internal to the remote processor subsystem. The MPU can
access it through a bus address/

I have posted v2, and have not modified for this. The memcpy portion is
actually present in the remoteproc_elf_loader.c, and looks like I need
to export some flags from rproc_va_to_da if I were to differentiate
this. Is that ok with you?
