Yes it is the main issue. Rproc_handle_carveout function will process it before, except if we create a new status to not allocate a carveout and provide function to update carevout in resource table...

OK I'll have a look to Qualcom DT nodes. But as it is SW, is DT the right place?
But it will help to decide if there is a dedicated memory region or not for virtio device.
I'll investigate...
