Ok, I think it's great that we can test this without special HW but the boot
time configuration is still a bit annoying. Would it be possible to allocate
memory fitting the above requirements by hot unplugging it with something like
offline_and_remove_memory()?

I also don't see why the DEVICE_PRIVATE and DEVICE_PUBLIC testing should be
mutually exclusive - why can't we test both without reloading the module?
