I know about the reserved regions IOMMU API, but the main problem here, in case of Exynos, is that those reserved regions won't be created by the IOMMU driver but by the IOMMU client device. It is just a result how the media drivers manages their IOVA space. They simply have to load firmware at the IOVA address lower than the any address of the used buffers.
