Yes, it does not get called by anybody, because it is supposed to be called
by RC drivers who want to reserve IOVAs, not all the PCI host bridge driver
might call it, but certainly iproc based PCI driver has to call it.

Then I will have PATCH v8, and with that, I will include PCI RC driver
patch calling it as well.
Thanks for the Review.
