Do you need to access these special memory regions during early boot 
because both method above are aimed at this use case.

The memory regions are normally described in the FDT

/memory@80000000
    device_type = "memory"
    reg = <0 0x80000000 0x1 0>

with optional /reserved-memory areas

/reserved-memory
    #address-cells = <0x2>
    #size-cells = <0x2>
    ranges
/reserved-memory/mmode_resv0@80000000
    reg = <0 0x80000000 0 0x80000>

Perhaps you're missing the latter?
