Took me a while to parse the below code, so I think a comment may be apt:

/*
 * Early mmu init will have mapped everything but the initial memory area
 * (excluding final OPTEE_SIZE bytes) uncached. We have now discovered
 * all memory banks, so let's map all pages, excluding reserved memory areas,
 * cacheable and executable.

I am a bit bothered by the asymmetry here: Reserved regions in the extra memory banks
will be initially uncached (because outside initmem), so this loop does the correct thing.

For reserved regions within the initial memory, only the OP-TEE region would be uncached,
everything else would just be requested, but is still mapped cacheable.

IMO, that's surprising behavior.

Ahmad
