            of the kernel, e.g. by bootloader or userspace
+- protect-exec : Same as 'pool' above but with the additional
+		 constraint that code wil be run from the region and
+		 that the memory is maintained as read-only, executable

 - label : the name for the reserved partition, if omitted, the label
           is taken from the node name excluding the unit address.
