Hello Julien,

If you use the memory allocator for those reserved region, then they

I've got your point.
write-back cacheable is quite weak attribute for stage-2. Is that safe?
I guess the domain should drive the resultant cacheability because it
knows how that memory region will be used. So the weakest write-back
cacheability is the right choice. Is my understanding correct?
It really depends on the security impact here. If the reserved memory is
shared with other device, what would be the impact of a domain using the
wrong memory attribute?
Furthermore, using the weakest one would imply cache maintenance when
the region is assigned/deassigned to/from a domain to prevent leaking data.
