What you could do is to add properties within the device tree further
annotating the reservations, with the extra structure essentially just
acting as an easy-to-parse summary of that.  In fact I know that POWER
systems firmware use 'reserved-ranges' and 'reserved-names' properties
for this.  I don't know if anyone else has adopted that though.
We've also been toying with the idea of creating a binding for "named
reserved memory range that should probably show up in debugfs"

I'd also be happy with a standard binding to do it.
