This looks not printed by memblock_reserve(), right? It is printed by your own
driver?

I am sorry, I still not catch your point. Let me try to understand your message.

You mentioned several regions, let me put them in order.

(1)   0x0000000080000000..0x0000000080dfffff    printed by driver
(2)   0x0000000080e00000..0x00000000811fffff    printed by driver
(3)   0x0000000081200000..0x00000000813fffff    printed by driver
(4)   0x0000000081400000..0x0000000081960000    expected to print in new debugfs
(5)   0x0000000081960000..0x00000000819fffff    listed in reg/memory
(6)   0x0000000081a00000..0x0000000081a3ffff    printed by driver
(7)   0x0000000081a40000..0x0000000081bfffff    listed in reg/memory
(8)   0x0000000082800000..0x00000000847fffff    listed in reserved

If you just want information for region (4), sound we can do it in user-space?

BTW, are region 1, 2, 3, 6, reserved in membock?
