I generally suggest the approach where the SoC object takes a
MemoryRegion as a link QOM property. The board code puts the
board-level devices into the system memory, and then passes
that up to the SoC. The SoC creates a container MR, puts the
thing it got passed by the board in as a background region,
and then adds its own devices/ROMs/etc to the container. It
also creates the CPU object(s). Then it passes the container
to the CPU object. This approach broadly follows what the
hardware does -- the SoC controls what goes where for the
devices it is dealing with, but doesn't need to care what is
outside it. Example in hw/arm/mps2-tz.c and probably others.
