Do you think we're required to support both 0 and -1 for this?
Hi Bjorn,
You're right, only -1 is needed. SoC can have internal RAM in 0x0 for
example.
I'll update in a V2.
and already reserved at system level.
In that case, remoteproc core doesn't need to perform any allocation.
Memory region access can be managed using memremap/memunmap functions

I think we should convert that reserved field in the vring to a "pa";
allowing this resource to not be 1:1 mapped into the remote. And if
nothing else just to be consistent with the carveouts and devmem.
In fact vring doesn't have pa because coprocessor diretly access it
without help of hardware accelerator. On both carveout and devmem,
hardware accelerators may be used.
That's true having pa field will be more consistent from host pov.

@Suman, do you have any input on this?
