Some DeviceTree authors have worked around this issue by explicitly reserving the space around the region, but this prevents such author to use rely on the OS to place the region, through the use of "size" (instead of a fixed location). Introduce a flag to indicate that guard pages need be carved at the beginning and end of the memory region. The user shall account for the two pages in the defined size.
