Thanks for the posting.
If RmeGuest::init_ram isn't needed in the future, this patch can be dropped.
There is no API exposed from (v14) host series to initialize RIPAS for the
specified IPA range, as we did in the earlier revisions. So this patch was
added for the earlier host serieses, not for (v14) host series any more?
Thanks,
Gavin
