From: Thierry Reding <tred...@nvidia.com>
These two patches implement support for retrieving a list of reserved
regions for a device from its device tree node. These regions are
described by the reserved-memory bindings:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reserved-memory/reserved-memory.txt
These reserved memory regions will be used to establish 1:1 mappings.
One case where this is useful is when the Linux kernel wants to take
over the display controller configuration from a bootloader. In order
to ensure that the display controller can keep scanning out from the
framebuffer allocated by the bootloader without faulting after the
IOMMU has been enabled, a 1:1 mapping needs to be established.
