I tried this in an earlier version. But on 8974 the adsp is supposed to
be loaded at 0xdc00000, where we have a chunk that's 0x1900000 (25.6MB).

The problem is that dma_alloc_coherent(25.6MB) will fail, because there
is not 32MB free in that 25.6MB region. This stems from how
dma_alloc_coherent() is implemented, so some work would need to be done
there.


Further more, in remoteproc you are expected to provide a resource table
detailing carveout regions like this - a table that's supposed to come
from the ELF. We are currently looking into ways of injecting individual
resource requests from a remoteproc driver, so I hope to replace this
with a "rproc_add_carveout()".

But then this shows another issue with using dma_alloc_coherent(), it
suddenly requires us to create dummy devices for each memory region; to
be able to control which dma_mem should be used for each operation.


So, I intend to move most of this handling into the remoteproc core, but
I'm still uncertain if I we will not just have the same logic, but
shared in the core...

I will, sorry for the delays.
