Yes, it was used for allocating dual port RAM for CPM.  And now we are
adding QE support to powerpc arch which need to use rheap(QE is next
generation for CPM).  Please see the patches I [off-list ref] just
posted for 8360epb support.  Moreover, previous CPM support is adding to
powerpc arch too.

What is this used for ? This rheap allocator ?

It is used for allocating dual port RAM on 8xx and 82xx. (and probably
others that have a CPM)
Most/all usage is still in ppc.
