DSP PD(protection domain) is execution environment supported by DSP.

I observed similar style in this driver file. I will update this in proper style in the next patch.

The difference between signed PD and unsigned PD is:
Signed PD: Available on all DSPs and requires that the shared objects being loaded in the PD
are signed with a digital signature.

Unsigned PD: Sandboxed low-rights process that allows signature-free shared objects to run on
CDSP.

For unsigned PD there are some additional statically initialized heap for which additional memory
is required. I'll try to come up with a better name.

Thanks for the review.
