iommu: Introduce IOMMU_RESV_DIRECT_RELAXABLE reserved memory regions
Introduce a new type for reserved region. This corresponds to directly mapped regions which are known to be relaxable in some specific conditions, such as device assignment use case. Well known examples are those used by USB controllers providing PS/2 keyboard emulation for pre-boot BIOS and early BOOT or RMRRs associated to IGD working in legacy mode. Since commit c875d2c1 ("iommu/vt-d: Exclude devices using RMRRs from IOMMU API domains") and commit 18436afd ("iommu/vt-d: Allow RMRR on graphics devices too"), those regions are currently considered "safe" with respect to device assignment use case which requires a non direct mapping at IOMMU physical level (RAM GPA -> HPA mapping). Those RMRRs currently exist and sometimes the device is attempting to access it but this has not been considered an issue until now. However at the moment, iommu_get_group_resv_regions() is not able to make any difference between directly mapped regions: those which must be absolutely enforced and those like above ones which are known as relaxable. This is a blocker for reporting severe conflicts between non relaxable RMRRs (like MSI doorbells) and guest GPA space. With this new reserved region type we will be able to use iommu_get_group_resv_regions() to enumerate the IOVA space that is usable through the IOMMU API without introducing regressions with respect to existing device assignment use cases (USB and IGD).
