Ack. Yi made a version of change dropping it completely along
with the iommufd_group_setup_msi() call for a nested S1 HWPT.
So I thought there was a misalignment. I made another version
preserving the pathway for MSI on ARM, and perhaps we should
go with this one:

OK.

I don't quite get this part. Isn't MSI having IOMMU_RESV_MSI
and IOMMU_RESV_SW_MSI? Or does it juset mean we should report
the iommu_resv_type along with reserved regions in new ioctl?

Thanks
