[GSoC] Defining regions of memory to apply attributes on it

[Hesham Moustafa]

Hi,

The current test cases for libmm use hard-coded memory region addresses to
apply memory attributes on. We want to remove that BSP dependency and hide
any target specs to enable test cases to run for any BSP. I would suggest
some solutions for your review :

- Use the current allocators like partition/region managers.
- Define an area of memory in linkcmds that acts as a pool for libmm to
dynamically allocate and apply attributes for.
- Use the free/busy list (stable enough ?)

Would it make sense to enable the user to specify hard-coded addresses
(that are not within heap or workspace) in the application code ?

Regards,
Hesham
