Hi Jacopo,

Thank you for the patch.

I'd phrase it the other way around. The important point here is that the 
reserved memory block must be removed from system memory in order to be 
remapable. This requires usage of the memblock API, and as this API is only 
usable very early during the boot process, we have to use the .mv_mem_reserve 
operation.

I would initialize the r variable here instead of at declaration time to make 
the code more readable. Otherwise the reader will have to scroll back to find 
out what r points to.

Other than that,
