On some platforms msi parent address regions have to be excluded from normal IOVA allocation in that they are detected and decoded in a HW specific way by system components and so they cannot be considered normal IOVA address space. Add a helper function that retrieves ITS address regions - the msi parent - through IORT device <-> ITS mappings and reserves it so that these regions will not be translated by IOMMU and will be excluded from IOVA allocations. The function checks for the smmu model number and only applies the msi reservation if the platform requires it.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
