Add a Kconfig symbol to enable getting updates on any memory map
changes that might be done by some other module. This notification
mechanism can then be used to have a synchronous view of allocated and
free memory.

To the "LMB memory map"?

I am missing 'depends on EVENT && LMB' here. This should allow to simplify the 'default' statement. But why not use select?

Best regards

Looking at later patches it seems you are sending memory map events from
different memory maps: LMB and EFI.

%s/to the memory map/to a memory map/

Sending messaging makes only sense if two memory management systems are
present. How about:

depends on EVENT && LMB && EFI_LOADER
default y

Mentioning LMB and EFI here would be helpful:

help
   U-Boot manages memory allocation in multiple modules: LMB and EFI.
   To keep them synchronized memory change messages are used.
   Enable this symbol to ensure synchronization.

Is there any chance we want to build a firmware that allows memory not
to be reserved?
I think we should make the feature mandatory

LMB is enabled for all architectures, but the EFI code is not. This
config is only for enabling the notification code. Which is why it is
enabled only when LMB and EFI_LOADER configs are enabled.
