Yes, it looks like the only purpose of iommu_get_dma_msi_region_cookie() is to get the msi-region information into into the reserved-list. Why do you need to 'allocate' the MSI region after all? Except for IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA domains the iommu-core code does not care about address allocation. This is up to the users of the domain, which includes that the user has to take care of the MSI region. Besides that, 'iommu_get_dma_msi_region_cookie' is a terrible function name and does not describe at all what the function does or is supposed to do.
