This driver requests and remaps a memory region as configured in the
device tree. It serves memory from this region via the genalloc API.

Other drivers can retrieve the genalloc pool from a phandle pointing
to this drivers' device node in the device tree.

We now have drivers/memory, which seems to be a good place for this.

drivers/memory is created for Memory controller device drivers. SRAM is
just pool of memory and should belong to some other place.
