Can you clarify how code behind an "if (!is_of_node(...))" check 
alongside other IORT-specific code is expected to be useful for DT?

Yes, iommu_dma_get_resv_regions() itself wants to end up serving as an 
abstraction layer, but that still doesn't mean it has to do much more 
than dispatch into firmware-specific backends as appropriate.
