It's definitely not arm-specific.  It's the modern linux/fdt way of
letting drivers access MMIO spaces they don't own (in terms of those
ranges being included in a reg property that would cause us to set up
rman resources for the device).

I'm not sure I would have made a new directory in dev/ for it though...
it's such a trivial little thing I would think it belongs with the
dev/extres stuff.
