The Versatile Express has 8 MB of dedicated video RAM (VRAM)
on the motherboard, which is what we should be using for the
PL111 if available. On this platform, the memory backplane
is constructed so that only this memory will work properly
with the CLCD on the motherboard, using any other memory
region just gives random snow on the display.

The CA9 Versatile Express also has a PL111 instance on its
core tile. This is OK, it has been tested with the motherboard
VRAM and that works just as fine as regular CMA memory.

The memory is assigned to the device using the memory-region
device tree property and a "shared-dma-pool" reserved
memory pool like this:

reserved-memory {
        #address-cells = <1>;
        #size-cells = <1>;
        ranges;

        vram: vram@48000000 {
                compatible = "shared-dma-pool";
                reg = <0x48000000 0x00800000>;
                no-map;
        };
};

clcd@1f000 {
        compatible = "arm,pl111", "arm,primecell";
	(...)
        memory-region = <&vram>;
}·;

It looks like you'll want a matching of_reserved_mem_device_release() at
remove / dev_unref time.

This will still allow BO imports from non-reserved memory, I think.
Should we just error out of import_sg_table() on this platform?
