Actually, looking at what IO_STRICT_DEVMEM really does, would it
really prevent userspace accesses to these areas? Because it seems
that it only prevents accesses to areas marked as IORESOURCE_BUSY, and
while I can't fully follow how the kernel assigns that, comments
suggest that this is only set w

Yes, that is intentional. We don't want the kernel to try to use that
memory for anything else (since we want those tables to survive), so
we mark them as

Call request_mem_region() on the entire coreboot table to make sure
other devices don't attempt to map the coreboot table in their drivers.
If drivers need that support, it would be better to provide bus APIs
they can use to do that through the mapping created in this file.
