[RFC v2 4/8] iommu: Add a list of iommu_reserved_region in iommu_domain

[Robin Murphy]

Hi Eric,

Thanks for posting this new series - the bottom-up approach is a lot
easier to reason about :)

In the light of these patches, I think I'm settling into agreement that
the iommu_domain is the sweet spot for accessing this information - the
underlying magic address ranges might be properties of various bits of
hardware many of which aren't the IOMMU itself, but they only start to
matter at the point you start wanting to use an IOMMU domain at the
higher level. Therefore, having a callback in the domain ops to pull
everything together fits rather neatly.

Looking at this in context with the dm_region above, though, I come to
the surprising realisation that these *are* dm_regions, even at the
fundamental level - on the one hand you've got physical addresses which
can't be remapped (because something is already using them), while on
the other you've got physical addresses which can't be remapped (because
the IOMMU is incapable). In fact for reserved regions *other* than our
faked-up MSI region there's no harm if the IOMMU were to actually
identity-map them.

Let's just add this to the existing infrastructure, either with some
kind of IOMMU_NOMAP flag or simply prot = 0. That way it automatically
gets shared between the VFIO and DMA cases for free!
