This struct has lots of overlap with 'struct iommu_resv_region'. Any
reason the existing struct can't be used here?


Hmm..main reason is "sid". RMRs are associated with stream ids and
that is used to install bypass STEs/SMRs in SMMU drivers and also to check
whether a dev has any RMR regions associated with it.

I think we could add sid/dev_id to 'struct iommu_resv_region', and modify
iommu_alloc_resv_region() accordingly. That can get rid of the above struct
and iommu_dma_alloc_rmr() fn. Not sure this will complicate things as
the dev_id is only valid for RMR reservation region cases.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Maybe add a union for FW-specific data to struct resv_region, so that it could eventually subsume AMD's struct unity_map_entry and Intel's struct dmar_rmrr_unit as well? They're essentially doing the same dance.

We might still have to create copies of the firmware-allocated entries to actually assign to domains (certainly where one entry covers multiple devices), but kmemdup() is still a lot neater than various translations from private formats.
