How would use of such a range be arbitrated/protected? You'd have to
ask for reservation (aka allocation) of a chunk anyway, which is as good
as using the existing interfaces to obtain address restricted memory
(and the hypervisor has a [rudimentary] mechanism to preserve some
low memory for DMA allocations).
