Sure I'll add a comment here.

I was wondering if we can get rid of this vendor specific extension
here if we get access to the DT here (for example having a DT property
which would indicate if IOCP CMO should be applied or not). Do you
think that would be good approach?  ATM we dont have a pointer here
for FDT whie early patching.
