According to Russell, it needs to use memblock_remove to exclude that
piece of memory.

I agree. Indeed I think we don't need to do anything in the driver. The
problem is only how to exclude a piece of memory from kernel main memory
view. For x86 it's trivial, for ARM it doesn't, but it's still possible.
