I couldn't find the place were actual data are put int M-, I don't know 
why I haven't seen
rom_add_blob() in boot.c.
At the machine init level I know all MRs, so I'll use 
memory_region_get_ram_ptr(),
and put data there.
If you have idea how to add this into framework, and someone beside me 
needs this,
maybe I can implement that?

Thanks,
