Per: http://software-dl.ti.com/tisci/esd/latest/5_soc_doc/am64x/firewalls.html

24	dmsc	0x44060000	0x4407BFFF	dmsc,rwcd	 	 // alias for 0x701E0000
24	dmsc	0x701FC000	0x701FFFFF	sproxy_private,rwcd	 	 
24	dmsc	0x4407C000	0x4407FFFF	sproxy_private,rwcd	 	 
24	dmsc	0x701C0000	0x701DFFFF	everyone,rwcd	 	 

So it looks like only 128K@0x701E0000 is firewalled off. 
Will update the patch.

This makes me wonder why ATF is being moved to 0x701a0000-0x701c0000
leaving a hole at 0x701C0000-0x701DFFFF?
