RPi4's co-processor will copy the board's bootloader[1] configuration into memory for the OS to consume. Specifically, for the bootloader configuration and upgrade user-space routines to query it through nvmem's sysfs interface.
Introduce a reserved-memory area template for the co-processor to edit before booting the system so as for Linux not to overwrite that memory and to expose it as an nvmem device.
