I am sure many will be interested. But depends on how generic is the
solution ? It's extremely difficult to come up with one.
ARM has Memory System Resource Partitioning(MPAM) to solve this in a
generic way. I know it may not solve issue for current platforms, but
just thought it's worth pointing out so that people are aware of it.
