Hmm - There's no mention of grouping like that in the documentation, nor 
in released silicon - to my knowledge.

Also why do you want a statement added saying that it supports CPU only 
mode ?

This patch will support adding IMRs for SMM mode - if calling code wants 
do do that - it's just imr_add_range(base, size, SMM, SMM);

Same thing with virtual-channels, RMU, etc.

Nope.

(0 & 0x3FF) == 0

We need to bounds check for a zero size.

I'll change it to

if (size == 0)
	return -EINVAL;

to avoid confusion.

hmmm.

The correct fix is

size = imr_fixup_size(size);
end = base + size;

Hmm you're right.

Turns out there's only the one test case for imr_del_range();

Good catch.
