A union is introduced to struct iommu_resv_region to hold
any firmware specific data. This is in preparation to add
support for IORT RMR reserve regions and the union now holds
the RMR specific information.

NIT: This will provoke a kernel-doc warning as the field name in the
structure is 'fw_data' not 'rmr' ('rmr being a field of the anonymous
union).

I've also retested this series on my Juno setup, so feel free to add:

Do we really need to duplicate all this data? AFAICS we could just save 
the acpi_iort_rmr pointer in the iommu_resv_region (with a forward 
declaration here if necessary) and defer parsing its actual mappings 
until the point where we can directly consume the results.

From earlier discussions on this patchset, the original goal was also for
device-tree mechanisms to be able to hook into this code to support
similar RMR's and SMMU initialization, just not through the ACPI / IORT
path.

Yes. IIRC, there were some earlier attempts to have DT support for reserved regions
and there was a suggestion to provide generic interfaces so that when DT solution
comes up it is easier to add the support.

OK, but in that case why is every single part of it IORT-specific in 
either name, description or function?

Regardless, s/acpi_iort_rmr/original firmware descriptor of whatever 
variety/ and my comment still stands. If a firmware-specific structure 
is still going to exist to begin with, then what do we gain from 
interpreting details earlier than needed and wasting memory storing 
copies of them? This isn't something we're looking up hundreds of times 
per second and need to cache in some more efficient format.

Furthermore, it seems unlikely that the eventual DT solution would end 
up being semantically identical to IORT RMRs, so there's every 
possibility that the One True Abstract Structure would need changing to 
work for another firmware implementation anyway. Heck, it might not even 
fit future IORT if it becomes permissible for multiple StreamIDs to 
share a single RMR descriptor.

Thanks,
Robin.
