1) When referring to "third-party", should I assume boot loader?
2) Function rproc_attach_recovery() calls __rproc_detach(), which in turn calls
rproc_reset_rsc_table_on_detach().  That function deals explicitly with the
resource table.
3) The code in this patch mixes __rproc_detach() with rproc_attach(), something
that is likely not a good idea.  We either do __rproc_detach/__rproc_attach or
rproc_detach/rproc_attach but I'd like to avoid the mix-and-match to keep the
amount of possible states to a minimum.

If I understand correctly, the main motivation for this patch is the management
of the resource table.  But as noted in (2), this should be taken care of.  Am I
missing some information?

Thanks,
Mathieu
