Does this prevent userspace from mapping this region via /dev/mem? If
so, let's please not do it to not break compatibility with existing
tools. (I guess an alternative would be to rewrite 'cbmem' to use
/sys/bus/coreboot/devices if available to get its coreboot table
information. But we'd still need to maintain the old path for
backwards compatibility anyway, so that would really just make it more
complicated.)
