So it sounds like we need a way to tie in the Kconfig to this allocation (if possible). Have you looked into various options?

In the old days of bounce buffers and non-relocatable ramstage on x86, it would have been fragile for payload to access back to ramstage program. If I read the source correctly, ramstage heap became part of the hand-of-buffer with FIT payloads. Do we really want to allow that?

I think lib/device_tree.c and lib/fit_payload.c should malloc() from a completely separate heap.
