Can you describe how the memory areas differ specifically? Is there one that is always faster but very small, or are there just specific circumstances under which some memory is faster than another?
One is always faster, but very small (generally 2-10% the size of "normal" memory).
Ok, that sounds like the "SRAM" regions that we are handling on some ARM platforms using the various interfaces. It should probably remain outside of the regular allocator, but we can try to generalize the SRAM support further. There are many possible uses for it.
