Subject: [PATCH v5 3/4] schemas: Add some common reserved-memory usages

The Devicetree specification skips over handling of a logical view of
the memory map, pointing users to the UEFI specification.

It is common to split firmware into 'Platform Init', which does the
initial hardware setup and a "Payload" which selects the OS to be booted.
Thus an handover interface is required between these two pieces.

Where UEFI boot-time services are not available, but UEFI firmware is
present on either side of this interface, information about memory usage
and attributes must be presented to the "Payload" in some form.

This aims to provide an small schema addition for this mapping.

For now, no attempt is made to create an exhaustive binding, so there are
some example types listed. More can be added later.

The compatible string is not included, since the node name is enough to
indicate the purpose of a node, as per the existing reserved-memory
schema.

This binding does not include a binding for the memory 'attribute'
property, defined by EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.GetMemoryMap(). It may be useful
to have that as well, but perhaps not as a bit mask.

Changes in v5:
- Drop the memory-map node (should have done that in v4)
- Tidy up schema a bit

Changes in v4:
- Make use of the reserved-memory node instead of creating a new one

Changes in v3:
- Reword commit message again
- cc a lot more people, from the FFI patch
- Split out the attributes into the /memory nodes

Changes in v2:
- Reword commit message
